Close your eyes, can you see me?
Rollin' down the Rocky mountains,
moving like the wind that sweeps the Kansas plains.
I know you're with me
as I make my way thru Oklahoma,
past the barns and weathervanes.
There are motels, cafes, fields and billboard signs,
a thousand miles of highway between your heart and mine.
There will finally come a moment
when one man and one woman
get everything they've be waiting for.
I'll take you in my arms again,
feel your skin against my skin,
let the sheet fall slowly to the floor
til nothing comes between us anymore.
In my soul,
I can feel you
as I cross the Mississippi
you're the river flowing in me.
Coming home,
I count each heartbeat
til the moment we're together
and the distance can be measured.
That's all that keeps me going when I'm gone.
There will finally come a moment
when one man and one woman
get everything they've been waiting for.
I'll take you in my arms again,
feel your skin against my skin,
let the sheet fall slowly to the floor,
til nothing comes between us anymore.
