Ten Year Night Lyrics - Lucy Kaplansky

There is no one else around the road is quiet, the only sound 

Is wind that sounds like cars that sound like breathing 

The desert air is hot and dry two lanes weaving earth and sky 

The stars are all that's keeping time till morning 

And I turn and look beside me and you're sleeping like a baby 

And you haven't heard a word that I've been saying 

And the way you look tonight fast asleep in the dashboard light 

Well I can't speak that's how I feel 

Open your eyes and look at me and look at me 

Open your eyes and look at me 

'Cause I have and hold this love for you 

Before this ten year night is through, I'm telling you 

Take it from me, take it from me 

We're ten years older, I know we are 

Than the night we met in that downtown bar 

You thought I was some kind of star 

That's what you said 

I felt your skin, I felt the heat 

As you pulled me out into the street 

And you kissed me there till I was weak 

'Cause I asked you to 

And later on your kitchen floor 

Two flights above the grocery store 

I felt things I never felt before and I still do 

Open your eyes and look at me and look at me 

Open your eyes and look at me 

'Cause I have and hold this love for you 

Before this ten year night is through, I'm telling you 

Take it from me, take it from me 

Going eighty on the highway 

We're all rushing somewhere 

But the way I feel tonight 

It's like I'm already there 

Open your eyes and look at me and look at me 

Open your eyes and look at me 

'Cause I have and hold this love for you 

Before this ten year night is through, I'm telling you 

Take it from me, take it from me
