One More Mile
A late-day drive with no destination, held together by fading light and the wish to keep going a little longer.
Let’s borrow one more moment from the falling light.
Lyrics
Verse 1
The evening settles slowly On a road we’ve never known Golden light on weathered fences Fields of turning stone The radio keeps quiet The windows breathe the air There’s no place we’re trying to reach Only somewhere out there
Chorus
One more mile Before the daylight fades One more mile Through these quiet shades No reason to be hurrying No finish line in sight Let’s borrow one more moment From the falling light
Verse 2
A dog sleeps by a farmhouse Smoke curls into blue Someone waves from far away Like old friends always do The world becomes much smaller The farther that we roam Funny how a winding road Can feel so much like home
Chorus
One more mile Before the stars appear One more mile There’s nothing left to fear Every bend is beautiful Every mile worthwhile Let’s stay a little longer Just one more mile
Bridge
Tomorrow can wait for us Morning always comes Tonight belongs to open skies And the sound of quiet songs
Final Chorus
One more mile That’s all I’m asking for Not because we’re searching For somewhere we’ve been before Some roads never end They simply change their name So let’s drive into the evening Exactly as we came
