OUT THERE SOMEWHERE

James Michael Taylor

OUT THERE SOMEWHERE

Her eyes were blurry. Her face was painted
Her hair was dyed black. Her purse was heavy

She said something. I asked her to repeat it
She said, “Stop the car. I thot I could trust you.”

I pulled it over and I waited.

If you will tell me
Where you are going
Then I will take you there
I’m in no hurry

She turned to me and spoke so softly
“What did I do wrong.”
I said, “I don’t know.”
The night was dark and getting darker

CHORUS -Out there somewhere, numb and fading
Void of love, too hurt for hating
It’s all over but the waiting
Out there somewhere without a notion
Adrift on some indifferent ocean
Without direction, only motion

I drove on home and folded my pillow
Tossed my body as dreams unfolded
Sun come shining on fresh clothes waiting
Hit the highway, rolled down my sun visor

There she is standing by the highway
Where she is going she does not know
She is befuddled by the notion
So many people know where they’re going

CHORUS

There she is standing out by the highway
Where she’s going she does not know
She is befuddled by the notion
So many people know where they’re going
