Give You a Ride

TTTO “Catch the Tide”, Talis Kimberly

Saw you here and so I came to greet you

Saw you worried and I wondered why

Then relieved as you turned to face me

Replying, when I said goodbye:

“Can you drive me, do you have some car-space,

Or would you leave me here” – I should have fled

Though I accept fate with only few ill-graces

Well, you know that I could only have said

[Chorus]

You know it’s fun when we just hang out together

No matter where we go or where we roam

But the buses would just you take forever

And I know that you cannot walk home

If you need it, I can give you a ride, my dear

If you need it, I can give you a ride

I’m not sorry, it is nice you need me

I like to drive and so I won’t stop now

In a few years time perhaps you may not need me

If your driving finally is allowed

I do expect you to remember me kindly

But I won’t ask for more when I am gone

I could move elsewhere, so it isn’t really slavery

But nowhere else can I have that much fun

[Chorus]

When the party’s done I walk around and look for you

Though I pretend it’s just to say goodbye

I don’t dare drive away, I worry for you

I cannot leave here, leave you high and drive

I do not want to feel the full force of your vengeance

So you know I can’t just leave you here

It’s late at night and you long for your sweet dreams

Well I’m tired now – I’m tired now, but my dear:

[Chorus]
