The Price

Splashing through the water on the motorway

The headlights shine in every drop of rain

And every mile takes a minute and every minute lasts an hour

And there's so many miles until I'm home again

And staring through the gathering mists on the windscreen

I see that paying the prices came so soon

And I swear that those eyes cut deeper into me

Than they've ever cut into you

And still the fires won't go out

That no power of the mind can drive away

And still all I ever see are your eyes calling

And the sadness and the hatred and the love and the pain

Everybody knows this aching like an old friend

And everybody feels it the same

But I'm out here in this desperate night in the middle of nowhere

Driving faster, faster through the rain

Ch: And still the fires won't go out

Am I trying to raise a toast when the glass is already empty?

Am I paying the price now the wasted years are through?

I swear that those eyes cut deeper into me

Than they'll ever cut into you
