A Song for You
AngeliQuie and The Band Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You and me drinking away our minds
You and me climbing the stairs
Following roads which all lead nowhere
I'll follow you into the early evening gloom
When shadows spread across the rooms of your mind
I'll follow you beyond the lamplight of the sky
Reflections of the day gone by
You and me burning the road
Knowing we go where the road may go
You and me burning the road
Knowing we go where the road may go
