Conception And The Funeral

i've always dreamt

of something beautiful

between conception and

the funeral and now

i'll wait if that's where i'll find it

i spent a lot on something trivial

i couldn't tell you

what was meaningful till now

i got a taste of the feeling

there aint no use in being practical

the motors running

and the tank is full

let's get on the road

before the morning comes

come with me for a day

and the distance

will drive the pain away

of that i'm sure

there isn't anything else

you need to take

nothing material in any case

so now

we'll make a plan

when we get there

sometimes there's promises

you have to break

so only make the ones

you have to make

and i know how to handle

my expectations

you're nervous

and you want to hesitate

afraid the whole thing

might be a mistake so now

just let your heart do the thinking

i've never been so sure

about anything in my life

i've never felt this way

about anything

someday i'm gonna run away

with you

and if it's only for a day or two

then

i'll wait if that's where i'll find it

there isn't anything i'd rather do

then leave the world behind (lyric book says "then" - should it be "than"?)

and be with you so now

i'll wait if that's where

i've always dreamt of something

beautiful

between conception

and the funeral

and i'll wait

i spent a lot on something trivial

i couldn't tell you

what was meaningful
