Oh! This wave of darkness
Home to only shadows
Part of our love has died
We drive for miles
But we have no destination
Wells form in baby blue eyes
Darting, asking questions
Stretching her arms out far
To be held
This child, she will never be held again
She looks for answers still
As recent as yesterday
But nothing comes
Only visions of Highway 99
The brightness of the crossing line
Reflects father's eyes on Highway 99
Oh! This wave of darkness
When will it be shed
'Till the day every step she takes
Be it left or right
Still leads her into the fire
Still reaching out
Crying baby tears for a mother's arms
That let her go on
