lyrics

What is it you're looking for my blue-eyed-one
With your hand open flat shielding your face from the sun
There's nothing through that glass for you to see
The sky's opened vasty and the clouds have long left
The air is blowing lowly and your pale form's bereft
There's no one in the car but you and me

(Chorus.)
The desert sun was setting and I couldn't read the time
Sweet Lorraline,
You called me from the catacombs to clear my cluttered mine
Sweet love of mine
I reached into the glovebox for a roadmap of some kind
Keeper of time
And slowly took my journey to the sea
Sweet Lorraline

I dream of you nightly but you sweep me aside
With your menacing gaze, your unshakable pride
And your hair reflecting light just like the sea
My shirt is hung loosely all the buttons are slack
You've turned toward the window all I see is your back
I know that you're the only one for me

(Chorus.)
The desert sun was setting and I couldn't read the time
Sweet Lorraline,
You called me from the catacombs to clear my cluttered mine
Sweet love of mine
I reached into the glovebox for a roadmap of some kind
Keeper of time
And slowly took my journey to the sea
Sweet Lorraline

Although when we get there, you might not understand
That I've driven here for you through this damnable land
A memory you have surely proved to be
