One night in Utah

Take your last sip, baby
We won't be back
The thoughts that surround you
You know how to leave them like that

Let's go in my car, and keep on the road
One last time, baby
We will take a drive
To let it all slip, our body and soul

The things that you could do
Why do you postpone them
For somebody new?
Don't you know you are growing older too

On this road, all that we see
Is no more driving,
anymore than no more cars that can leave
It is an empty stretch, and it won't get you far
The time you think you have, it'll leave you
Like 3 am in between the bars

So drink up, baby
Enjoy the length of the last tasting drop
We won't be back here tomorrow
I think I know, I may have forgot

How this old thing goes
I pull off the highway continent lot
to remember to slow
I am down and I am out of the words
I curse I am including the absurd

But then, on the pale blue rock
I see you dissolve
into desert streams
Waiting to be finally seen
Under the light of a thousand stars

Yes
You know how to leave them like that

Cosmic factories
Of hydrogen & helium collide
In awe
Oh, how can it all be on one night
in Utah
