I am the highway

pearls and swine bereft of me
long and weary my road has been
I was lost in the cities
alone in the hills
no sorrow or pity for leaving I feel

I am not your rolling wheels
I am the highway
I am not your carpet ride
I am the sky

friends and liars don't wait for me
cause I'll get on all by myself
I put millions of miles
under my heels
and still too close to you
I feel

I am not your rolling wheels
I am the highway
I am not your carpet
I am the sky
I am not your blowing wind
I am the lightning
I am not your autumn moon
I am the night
