Half Past Eternity ( France 2000 Heading To Spain )

Half Past Eternity ( France 2000 heading to Spain ) Hush late night I’m not driving home Sleepy slow The thrum of wheels In an orange lane light glow Whispers through the window All autumn leaves and vodka Days first hint squints through Nothing but stillness hits the air To music shattering The moments mesmerized hum “What time is it ?” she asks and leaning on the steering wheel I am forced to smile Its not peace or depth With which she filled me Or the whispering of the tyres Eating up their miles But the breath indrawn as she wakes “What time is it ?” she asks Leaning back in the day breaking Her seat still empty Yawns to stretch her dreams away Overtaking the engine humming My dogs panting keeping time Is it happening ? And I pass the edge The road sweeps the wind open And I drive beyond the horizon “What time is it ?” and I have to smile answering “Its been a long while” but drowsy has got to slow and now its time for her to go “What time is it ?” and I answer her softly “Hey my love, where have you been “Its only half past eternity”
