Kathleen Testo

all the other girls here are stars❝you are the Northern Lights
they try to shine in through your curtains❝you❝re too close and too bright
they try and they try but everything that they do
is the ghost of a trace of a pale imitation of you
I❝ll be the one to drive you back home Kathleen
this party is made with the night air and the chance that a smile
will wind its way from your face to one of the boys in your line
you act like you❝re hip to their tricks and you❝re strong
but a virgin Wurlitzer heart never once had a song
I❝ll be the one to drive you back home Kathleen
and I❝ll have you back by break of day
I❝m going your way anyway
and if you❝d like to come along
I❝ll be yours for a song
I know you are waiting and I know that it is not for me
but I❝m here and I❝m ready and I❝ve saved you the passenger seat
I won❝t be your last dance just your last goodnight
every heart is a package tangled up in knots someone else tied
I❝ll be the one to drive you back home Kathleen
so crawl up your trellis and quietly back into your room
and I❝ll coast down the length of your drive by the light of the moon
and the next time I see you❝a new kind of hello
both our hearts have a secret only both of us know
❝bout the night that I drove you back home Kathleen
