Highway and the Moon

It was a preface to motion
 Rolling down the Oklahoma highway
 Highway and the moon
 The moon beat down
 With cloudless devotion
 It seemed like all heaven
 Was going my way
 Going my way
 It was a preface to waking
 The smell of gasoline
 A dream of milk and honey
 Honey how are you
 You were there
 In the dawn before the daybreak
 Rising before Venus
 The morning star and humming
 A tune I could not name
 Tune I could not name
 And swallows were tumbling
 Over our heads they were
 Falling by turns
 By turns rising again
 Seamlessly tracing
 The profile of night
 In a balance of meaning
 And motion and light
 And there on the water
 Passing below
 I saw our bodies reflected
 As a perfect palindrome
 We go tearing our love down
 To build it up again
 From different directions we mean the same
 We are the same as we've always been
 It was a preface to knowing
 Throwing down the dreams of my own making
 For making better time
 And time rolls on
 Heedless of our holding
 This momentary franchise
 The kingdom I have made
 Of your bloodshot smile
 Of your bloodshot smile
 And swallows were tumbling
 Over our heads they were
 Falling by turns
 By turns rising again
 Seamlessly tracing
 The profile of night
 In a balance of meaning
 And motion and light
 And there on the water
 Passing below
 I saw our bodies reflected
 As a perfect palindrome
 We go tearing our love down
 To build it up again
 From different directions we mean the same
 We are the same as we've always been
