Description

The streetlights glare
and just as quickly they vanish
blurred by these tears in my eyes
that i can't seem to banish.

As I'm running away from
your cruel words that cut me
cause i realize at last
you'll love anything but me.

Those double yellow lines
have denied me my cross
but they've nailed me
far to close to you

And they offer no pass
to distance me from your loss,
and leave me trafficking in my blues

I don't know where I'm going
but there's comfort in knowing
every mile denies my chances of....

having to see you again
enjoying other men
I'd drive for miles just
to shake your love

You took that long lovely road
that we traveled together
on sweet journey's only
lover's can share.

closed it sown for construction
cutting off any seduction
obstructing any love
that we could share

and now those
double yellow lines
have denied me my cross
but they've nailed me
far to close to you

And they offer no pass
to distance me
from your loss,
and leave me
trafficking in my blues

They've left me languishing
I'm slowly vanishing
In the trafficking of my Blues
