Those nights that he
Would call you
With the open road in his voice
Your coffee cup spent of its steam

Insects at the porch light,
Tiny Black Coats from the Bureau
He has taken the keys

And the driveway falls
Like a pair of pale arms
Dived into the river

And you know
If you are still and
Keep inside the light
The satellites will see you
And they'll know

To keep him on the line
To hold him in your hand
While the house behind
Your back is counting rooms

To listen for the sounds
That give away his place
Until the static places him
Just somewhere out beneath the moon

And the driveway falls
Like a pair of pale arms
Dived into the river

And you know
If you are still and
Keep inside the light
The satellites will see you
And they'll know

Those nights that he
Would call you
With a gift of this memory
In his voice
He has taken the keys

And the driveway falls
Like a pair of pale arms
Dived into the river

And you know
If you are still and
Keep inside the light
The satellites will see you
And they'll know
