Black Silk Gown Lyrics

Driving through to midnight between the rumble strips Never let your promises get too far from your lips
‘Cause the night is shot with diamonds
Above these dark New England towns
And the highway drawn beneath me like a black silk gown

Baby’s on the west coast by the San Francisco bay
Clear across the continent, a couple days away
Where the Golden Gate is painted every time the sun goes down
And the ocean pools around her like a black silk gown

Oh aren’t we riding now, riding, you and me
Oh aren’t we riding now, side by side, you and me?

If I pull myself together, push a little further on I might stop and get some rest until the weariness has gone
But I don’t know how to reach you and the night is coming down
And the darkness folds around me like a black silk gown
Oh aren’t we riding now, riding, you and me
Oh aren’t we riding now, side by side, you and me?

Driving through to midnight between the rumble strips
Never let your promises get too far from your lips ‘Cause the night is shot with diamonds
Above these dark New England towns
And the highway drawn beneath me like a black silk gown
