Hitchhiking Home
You were standing out in the rain
And he was driving your way
And it took just one ride in his car
And then he asked you to stay
But is it worth what you’re leaving behind
The song of the roads and the call of the wild
White dove resting on the cedar tree
It takes him just one wingbeat to be free
Hitchhiking home
You never know what horizons you may discover
Hitchhiking home
You hold out your thumb but you end up as lovers
Hitchhiking home
You know your head’s saying one thing but your heart says another
There’s a log on the fire
There’s a man in your bed
You pulled him out of the mire
Now there’s a crown on your head
But is it worth what you’re throwing away
For the Sunday papers and a place you can stay
White dove resting on the cedar tree
It takes him just one wingbeat to be free
All those years you stood by the highway
Rain or shine but still feeling ok
Dreaming of the car going your way
In the house on the hill
You hear the tick of the clocks
But when you dream of distant horizons
You hear the click of the locks
But it’s a strange kind of paradise
Where you cannot move and your hands are tied
White dove resting on the cedar tree
It takes him just one wingbeat to be free
