Amber and Blue

Verse 1

Flickering sign says vacancy

Rain runs off the gravel drive

Suitcase heavy on the passenger seat

Road behind me just came alive

Got a room with a buzzing bulb

Paper thin walls and a crooked frame

Staring at the ceiling like it knows my name

I trace the circles of the morning train

Pre-Chorus

And the highway hums a lullaby

That only wanderers can sing

Chorus

Motel lights on the edge of town

Guiding no one home tonight

Motel lights burning amber and blue

I keep driving till the dawn comes through

Verse 2

Coffee gone and the ice is melted

Receipts folded in a pocketbook

Every town I've passed just circled better days

Every promise I let go of hooks

A map spread out on wrinkled sheets

A pencil dot where I might rest

Tomorrow's highway is a question mark

But tonight this rumpled pillow does its best

Pre-Chorus

And the highway hums a lullaby

That only wanderers can sing

Chorus

Motel lights on the edge of town

Guiding no one home tonight

Motel lights burning amber and blue

I keep driving till the dawn comes through

Bridge

Someday I'll unpack all these boxes

Someday I'll stay and watch the seasons turn

But for now the moon is my companion

And every exit is a lesson learned

Chorus

Motel lights on the edge of town

Guiding no one home tonight

Motel lights burning amber and blue

I keep driving till the dawn comes through
