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 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
ÔTill 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
Highway 99
The brightness of the crossing line
Reflects father's eyes
On highway 99
On highway 99
