Driving down this road in the fading light,
My thoughts are a dove that takes flight,
And leads me back,way back
To a day when I drove down with you
So blissfully unaware of you was I,
Yet my every sense was alert to you

Now I drive the opposite way
To the way we drove together
I see the memory of you in every tree I pass,
Every rock speaks your name
Every blade of grass that you might have seen
I gaze out the window to lay my eyes
On all that you saw
That I may gaze into your eyes once more

This drive down Joburg road
The road you drove on,mile after mile
taking you away from me
This road that once gave you to me
Brutally took you away again
Just as I got used to loving you

This road that I love and hate all at once
For showing me the lie that said love is a myth
And hat my destiny lies in the one thing I can’t have
This bittersweet journey,
Is Joburg road by night.
