Headlights on the Highway Ron Pope

And the headlights on the highway
Could not help me understand
Whatever it is you need, I pray I am

You wear nothing but a smile, a nervous laughter
Spending evenings in your dark blue cotton sheets
And I've spent years, it seems, just wandering through the darkness
And the answer came on that late summer breeze

And the headlights on the highway
Could not help me understand
Whatever it is you need, I pray I am

With my fingertips I trace on your bare skin
All of the things I'd like to say but cannot speak
You mean everything, there are not quite words enough
To tell you all the things that you've become for me

And the headlights on the highway
Could not help me understand
Whatever it is you need, I pray I am

And I don't need no secrets, I give up on lies
If it's gonna rain I'd rather know than be caught blind

And the headlights on the highway
Could not help me understand
Whatever it is you need, I pray I am
