Pearls and swine bereft of me
Long and weary my road has been
I was lost in the city
Alone in the hills
No sorrow or pity for leaving I feel

I am not your rolling wheels
I am the highway
I am not your carpet ride
I am the sky, oh

Friends and liars don't wait for me
I'll get on all by myself
I put millions of miles
Under my heels
And still, still too close
To you, I feel

I am not your rolling wheels
I am the highway
I am not your carpet ride
I am the sky

I am not your blowing wind
I am the lightning
I am not your autumn moon
I am the night
I am the night

(Oh, I am the night)

And I am not your rolling wheels
I am the highway
I am not your carpet ride
I am the sky

I am not your blowing wind
I am the lightning
And I am not your autumn moon
I am the night
I am the night
I am the night

Mmm, I am the night
