Wonderland
Tony Carey Lyrics

Well there's ice out on the highway an hour before the dawn
It's cold and dark outside and the highway is slippery with ice an hour before sunrise.

I guess the whole world's sleepin' and the miles just roll along
The rest of the world is still asleep as the miles on the highway pass by.

I told myself I'd make it back as soon as I could
The singer promised himself that he would come back as soon as possible.

And I hope you will be waiting there like you said you would
The artist hopes that his loved one will still be waiting for him as promised.

And you know we might have said some things we really didn't mean
The artist and his loved one may have said things in the past that they did not truly mean.

We tried to cut the strings cut 'em off clean
They tried to end the relationship cleanly and completely.

I could see how much I hurt you when I packed it up and left
The singer realizes that he hurt his loved one deeply when he left.

But I saw it in your eyes you thought it might be for the best
Despite the pain, his loved one seemed to understand why he left.

And I feel so down and alone
The artist is feeling very sad and isolated.

And I only want to come back home
All the artist wants is to return home to his loved one.

Take my hand my baby
The singer is asking his loved one to take his hand.

Tell me I'm still your man, my baby
The artist wants reassurance that his loved one still sees him as her man.

We'll walk along the sand, my baby
The singer imagines himself and his loved one walking together along the shore.

It'll be like wonderland, my baby
The singer envisions this future as a magical, dreamlike experience.

I'm workin' hard to get you out of my mind
The singer is trying really hard to forget about his loved one.

I'll point this car somewhere and I'll drive away the time
He plans on driving his car for an aimless amount of time to pass the time.

And I said hey now I'm free, but I knew that wasn't true
The artist knows he's lying to himself by saying he's free, because he's still in love with his ex-lover.

Every woman that I see would just remind me of you
Every woman he sees only reminds him of his ex-lover.

Why don't we see it when it's there all along
The singer regrets not realizing the beauty of his relationship with his ex-lover while it existed.

We let a good thing go so wrong
The artist and his ex-lover had a great relationship that didn't end well.

Still want to love you babe as much as I can
The artist still has feelings for his ex-lover and wants to love her as deeply as possible.

I want to hold you in my arms, show you wonderland
The artist wants to hold his loved one and create the magical experience he's been dreaming of.

Take my hand my baby (just like wonderland)
The singer is asking for his loved one's hand, picturing the wonderland he's imagined.

Tell me I'm still your man, my baby
He still seeks reassurance that his loved one still sees him as her man.

We'll walk along the sand, my baby
The singer again imagines walking with his lover.

It'll be like wonderland, my baby (just like wonderland)
And again, he hopes to create a magical experience for both of them.
