You close the door and start the motor I roll the window down I raise my hand and wave goodbye To neighborhood queens and clowns and
Children in the front yards They hide and seek and laugh I can almost hear you thinking How could these days go by so fast
And the rear view could picture What we leave behind Drive darling, drive darling, Drive darling, drive darling, drive
A silent conversation No words cause there's no need We let the tapes mix up the years And press repeat and press repeat
The trunk is filled with records And books and tears and clothes I'm smiling on the surface I'm scared as hell below
And the rear view could picture What we leave behind Drive darling, drive darling, Drive darling, drive darling, drive
Good morning freedom Good night lullabies Drive darling, drive darling, Drive darling, drive darling, drive
And when we arrive The hardest of goodbyes You will dry my eyes Somehow you're always by my side The one who holds my kite And watches over all my flights
I am ready for love Why are you hiding from me I'd quickly give my freedom To be held in your captivity
I am ready for love All of the joy and the pain And all the time that it takes Just to stay in your good grace Lately I've been thinking Maybe you're not ready for me Maybe you think I need to learn maturity They say watch what you ask for Cause you might receive But if you ask me tomorrow I'll say the same thing
I am ready for love Would you please lend me your ear? I promise I won't complain I just need you to acknowledge I am here
If you give me half a chance I'll prove this to you I will be patient, kind, faithful and true To a man who loves music A man who loves art Respect's the spirit world And thinks with his heart
I am ready for love If you'll take me in your hands I will learn what you teach And do the best that I can
I am ready for love Here with an offering of My voice My Eyes My soul My mind
Tell me what is enough To prove I am ready for love
