lyrics

i wonder where you are tonight
i wonder if you're driving
on a winding concrete river
on a raft of glass and steel
darkness interrupted by a lonely bright oasis
a full tank and some coffee and you're back behind the wheel

long is the road that lies between us
many are the days that you've been gone
may the angel on your shoulder guide you safely through the night
and may the concrete river bring you home
may the concrete river bring you home

i wonder where yu are tonight
i wonder if you're sleeping
and what melodies and visions glide across your silver screen
maybe curled up in the back seat
a few short hours til morning
parked there at a rest stop on the interstate of dreams

long is the road that lies between us
many are the days that you've been gone
may the angel on your shoulder guide you safely through the night
and may the concrete river bring you home
may the concrete river bring you home

i wonder how you are tonight
i wonder if you're happy
i sing my little prayer and send it out across the miles
i hope you have a special place
an people there that love you
and i hope you make it back to them
before too long a while

long is the road that lies between us
many are the days that you've been gone
may the angel on your shoulder guide you safely through the night
and may the concrete river bring you home
may the concrete river bring you home
