Just three miles from the rest stop
And she slams on the breaks
She said I tried to be but I´m not
And could you please collect your things
I don´t wanna be cold
I don´t wanna be cruel
But I gotta find more
Than what´s happening with you
If you´d - open up the door

She said - while you were sleeping
I was listening to the radio
And wondering what you´re dreaming when
It came to mind that I didn´t care
So I thought - hell if it´s over
I had better end it quick
Or I could lose my nerve
Are you listening - can you hear me
Have you forgotten

Just three miles from the rest stop
And my mouth´s too dry to rage
The light was shining from the radio
I could barely see her face
But she knew all the words that I never had said
She knew the crumpled-up promise of this
Broken down man - and as I opened up the door

She said - while you were sleeping
I was listening to the radio
And wondering what you´re dreaming when
It came to mind that I didn´t care
So I thought - hell if it´s over
I had better end it quick
Or I could lose my nerve
Are you listening - can you hear me
Have you forgotten

She said - while you were sleeping
I was listening to the radio
And wondering what you´re dreaming when
It came to mind that I didn´t care
So I thought - hell if it´s over
I had better end it quick
Or I could lose my nerve
Are you listening - can you hear me

While you were sleeping
I was listening to the radio
And wondering what you´re dreaming when
It came to mind that I didn´t care
So I thought - hell if it´s over
I had better end it quick
Or I could lose all my nerve
Are you listening - can you hear me
