Far Lights lyrics

(N. Bottini)

When I was six years old, I used to reach that road
And when the sun went down, I could see those far lights glowin`
I stood there for a while, then I went back to my house
Thinkin` about the far lights

The people in this town, walk starin` at the ground
I had nothin` to say, so I went to watch those lights
And then a friend of mine, he told me `it`s just another town`
I said `I don`t believe you !`
But I`ve never been so brave to check if he was right

So I`m wanderin` around
Watchin` trucks passin` by
Never gonna hitch a ride
To the far lights

A sad blue neon light, is shinin` in this bar
And when she came inside, she spoke with sparklin` eyes
She asked about those lights, they told her `it`s a town`
She cried `I don`t believe you !`
So I took her hand and then we ran outside

In a breathless run
We went straight to the roadside
We were tryin` to hitch a ride
To the far lights

At the city limits sign, I felt she had a start
Her hand slipped off from mine, and she whispered `goodbye`
And when I turned around, she was no more in sight
I thought `I must believe it !`
Took a deep breath then I kept on with my ride

In a breathless run
I kept runnin` straight on
Still hitchin` a ride
To the far lights

I ran lookin` ahead
All along the roadside
I was tryin` to hitch a ride
To the far lights
