Another 2-hour special. Think it might be my fave thing I've done in a while. I certainly didn't end up hewing closely to William's assignment, though I definitely started out in that direction.

lyrics

Carol, turn that light low
 I can’t see the open road
the sparks and shadows hammer out
some mystic kind of code
that I can’t read

lived so long in Carolina
can’t abide the cold
sometimes it settles in so deep
a frozen stranglehold
that I can’t shake

no time left to dwell on every promise
I can’t keep
but I’d like to put a few more miles
behind me ‘fore I sleep

remind myself I’m not the only
dog that’s lost its bite
and no one likes that shitty smell
of hospitals at night
but I can dream

Carol, what’s been done is done
and I can’t read your mind
the way you’re staring out that windshield
just full of never mind
I wish you’d say

all the dreams we left behind
we sold ‘em all so cheap
I’d like to put a few more miles
behind me ‘fore I sleep

set out one bright morning
with the east wind at my heels
the ancient spires cathedral
your horizon’s wild appeal
ever far

Someone turned the lights so low
I couldn’t see the dose
and you can keep on blaming me
but you can’t raise a ghost
can you now?

how we feared to cross them all
those rivers wide and deep
I’d like to put a few more miles
behind me ‘fore I sleep
