Smiling

You asked me to go driving
I put on my shoes
We rode past the highways
Till the forest roads turned blue

And the trees cast such long shadows
As we're coming to the lake
And I ask you to stop
But you just wouldn't touch the brake

And you won't say anything
Till the water's hit the wheels
And I turn to see you smiling
God, I wonder how you feel

You were two years older
But I still got in your car
You were so much wiser
But I still taught you guitar

And the trees cast such long shadows
Down the roads that lead away
And I watch as all the rivers thin
And my service bar turns gray

And you won't say anything
Till the water hits the wheels
And I turn to see you smiling
God, I wonder how you feel

And I wonder if I'll ever forget
Feeling your eyes on the back of my head
Everything lovely and everything quiet
Nobody hearing the sounds of me dying

And the trees cast such long shadows
Down the street where we first met
I knew you'd never leave me
Oh, I knew you'd never end

And you won't say anything
Till the water hits the wheels
And I turn to see you smiling
God, I wonder how you feel
