Driving East, And Through Her Lyrics

Driving East through winter rains
On the way to meet ourselves
We were drinking something mixed with champagne
Toasting the future and our health
You wouldn't roll me a cigarette
So I was steering with my knees
While in the road ahead rain turned into snow
Drifting through the open window silently
Got into town and found a bed
And we lay down for a little while
We rearranged our bodies
And became for a little while
And all the distance between us
Disappeared for a little while
But when we came down
It still felt like a thousand miles
In the woods you were a faun
And I was following in your tracks
Waiting for the moments in between When you were looking back
The morning canyon wind was so
California cold
And so I let you wear my
Midwestern hat
Even then I must have known
In half a year you would be mailing it
Northwestern back
From when you were the first
Those days became some photographs
I wish that I had not received
Became a distant past
At times impossible to believe
But I will recall you on that trail
Collecting memories of your own
I will recall you draped in furs
And when you called me your home
When you were the first
And the last thing on my mind
The only thing on my mind
