Loving Was

Fade into black, and let these headlights roll before me in the dark

Am I hurt? Am I all right? All right, all ready on your mark

And with this hope, one would save me, maybe then

Loving is, loving was

In the end, I drove for acres on this autobahn I made

And with this hope, one would save me, maybe then

I’d be as a lover is, a lover was, a lover does

Clementine, galvanize, petrichor

Loving is, loving was

An autobahn, passing on, to the sun

Be as a lover is, a lover was, a lover does

Filament, telegram, cuneiform

Loving is, loving was

An autobahn, rolling on, rolling on

Forever
