Two Days From Knowing

(gillian welch/matt rollings)

Now the night´s turned pink
On the eastern edges
But the sky is cold and still
And i wonder if it´s the sunrise
Warning the desert
Or the lights of tucson from over the hill

It´s a hard way to love you
This long distance romance
Always stopping and starting again
I don´t mind the miles
When i´m out on the highway
But even when i´m with you the miles just don´t end

And i´m two days from knowing
Whether i can be strong
If i spend one more night in your arms
So i´ve a mind to keep going
And drive right past your door
But i´m two days from knowing for sure

As the night closes down
It fills the horizon
And stretches it out at the seams
And i´m not sure if tomorow
I´m gonna be any closer
To closing the distance between you and me

And i´m two days from knowing
Whether i can be strong
If i spend one more night in your arms
So i´ve a mind to keep going
And drive right past your door
But i´m two days from knowing for sure

We´ll i´ve a mind to keep going
And drive right past your door
But i´m two days from knowing for sure
