New Model Army

The Price

New Model Army


Splashing through the water on the motorway 
The headlights shine every drop of rain 
And every mile takes a minute and every minute lasts an hour 
And there's so many miles 'till I'm home again 

And staring through the gathering mists on the window 
I see that paying the price came so soon 
And I swear that those eyes cut deeper into me 
Than they've ever cut into you 

Ch: - And still the fires won't go out 
That no power of the mind can drive away 
And still all I see are your eyes calling 
And the sadness and the hatred and the love and the pain 

Everybody knows this aching like an old friend 
And everybody feels it the same 
But I'm out here in this desperate night in the middle of nowhere 
Driving faster, faster through the rain 

Ch: - And still the fires won't go out 
And still I wish I was home 
And still all I ever see are your eyes calling 
And still I love you with my whole soul 

Am I trying to raise a toast when the glass is already empty 
Am I paying the price now the wasted years are through 
I swear that those eyes cut deeper into me 
Than they'll ever cut into you
