Drive all night Just to see your face Through hills of snow and fields of flame And the rain falls now On the window pane And up on Mt. Rainier So we drink all night Til the sun it shines Then kiss beneath the dripping pines Those city lights Shine bright like your eyes I wish I could stay tonight Patience May be a virtue someplace else But our time is running out And life won't wait, won't wait So I call you up from a roadside phone My heart is broke and I'm halfway home, And I can't stand another day Without you near Without you near So you sold your clothes All the things you own Packed a bag and left a note And from a window seat, With no ticket home, Said goodbye to Mt. Rainier
