In the late night fog, your silence feels so wrong

Your affection is gone, I know the deal

So drive away and let it die

So drive away and let it die

Are drifting in my eyes
-There is no shelter in your arms
-The highway, twenty-seven lines
-Are drifting in my eyes
-Now drive away and let it die
-The rain on the sunroof of the GMC
Describing the atmosphere inside a vehicle during rain, mentioning a Mai Tai magic tree, and expressing confusion and a sense of being lost in a deceptive love.
And the waving dance of a Mai Tai magic tree

Are drifting in my eyes
-There is no shelter in your arms
