I Am Still Here
Damien Jurado

I stood alone there in the driveway
Till I saw your headlights fade
And disappear
Burn out like stars
A Chevrolet train that rolls in the night

I must have had a hundred nightmares
Of you falling asleep at the wheel
I send my prayers
Where are you now?
I am still here and going nowhere

Here is a photo of our first baby
Here is a photo of our wedding day
Nothing has changed
My love’s still the same
I am still here and here I remain

When you come back we’ll have a party
We’ll hang up the christmas lights
You’ll be my bride
And I’ll be your groom
I love you so much please make it home soon

Your mother said that you called this morning
“Tell him I love him, but I am not returning”

“When you come back we’ll have a partyWe’ll hang up the christmas lightsYou’ll be my brideAnd I’ll be your groomI love you so much please make it home soon”
