The gate was closing, the sun was folding Her hand was waving me good-bye Remember me to the highway signs The colored lights and the highway signs Remember me to my friends so kind Tell them I am fine The night had fallen, the moon was calling A whippoorwill sang out it's song There is no need for you to go Like the seeds the wind would blow It is best now that the time moves slow You know someday she'll know But today is nearly over It's nearly over now, it's nearly gone And tomorrow doesn't matter now 'Cause nothing matters now, except the dawn The gate left open the sun had woken The dew left footprints to my door She walked in slowly her image holy She knelt beside me on the floor I remembered you to the highway signs The colored lights and the highway lines I said hello to your friends so kind And told them you were fine But today is nearly over It's nearly over now, it's nearly gone And tomorrow doesn't matter now 'Cause nothing matters now, except the dawn
