Once driving at dusk
Through a satellite town
The lights coming on
And the rain coming down
You were undone
By a couple of lines in a Go-Betweens' song
You were startled to find yourself singing along
The words caught in your throat
Shy of the note
Now and again
In the last of the light
You're reminded of then
Looking back now those were difficult days
A foldaway bed at your grandparents place
And a heart worse for wear
You waited all winter
For something to give
For the gathering storm clouds to scatter and lift
For a square inch of sky
You could stare into
Now and again
In the last of the light
You're reminded of when
You were driving at dusk
Through a satellite town
With the lights coming on
And the rain coming down
