The First Goodbye

The gravel road is quiet in the dark
I feel the sudden jumping of a spark
The ember burns inside the fading light
I want to keep you for the rest of the night
You trace a circle on the wooden grain
A tender echo falling like the rain
We left the crowded corners far behind
To see what kind of freedom we could find
The air is thick with everything we hide
I want to pull you closer to my side
A quiet hunger growing deep inside
I want to take you on a midnight ride
I never want to say the first goodbye
I want to stay beneath this open sky
We have forever waiting in the dawn
I want to hold you when the stars are gone
Yeah I just want to hold you close
You are the one I want the most
A dusty record turning on the stand
I feel the gentle burning of your hand
The engine cooling off outside the door
I only know I want a little more
The air is thick with everything we hide
I want to pull you closer to my side
A quiet hunger growing deep inside
I want to take you on a midnight ride
I never want to say the first goodbye
I want to stay beneath this open sky
We have forever waiting in the dawn
I want to hold you when the stars are gone
Yeah I just want to hold you close
You are the one I want the most
I never want to say the first goodbye
I watch the moonlight slowly drifting by
The distance fades and leaves the world behind
You bring a sudden quiet to my mind
Sayed will hold you as the shadows fall
I want to be the answer when you call
There is a certain kind of magic here
And I just want to keep you very near
I never want to say the first goodbye
I want to stay beneath this open sky
We have forever waiting in the dawn
I want to hold you when the stars are gone
