Between The Caffeine and The Cars
(R. Barker- T. Bennett)

Between the caffeine and the cars
In spite of pain that never tired
We drove all night beneath the stars
And talked about what we admire

Between the pavement and the laughter
And the blur of passing people
Through the break of morning after
Past the factories and the steeples

Glimpse a fragment of passing seasons
And understand this life unmoored
Forensic search for rhyme and reason
To tether this fragile boat at shore

Yet we try to ascribe a meaning and some mirth
To stave off encroaching doubts
That seek to bury our dreams in the dirt
Let all the inner demons out

Glimpse a fragment of passing seasons
And understand this life unmoored
Forensic search for rhyme and reason
To tether this fragile boat at shore
