‘Car Light'

We've been driving for so long
Into an unknown and endless night
And neither of us can quite admit that at some junction
We went left when we should have gone right

You take the self-heating gel pack
And the back seat tonight -
I need to know that you'll be alright

We've come so far together
Into the wilderness of our lives
And neither of us can accept that at some juncture
We both hopelessly lost all sight

You have the Oswald And Bailey picnic blanket
I'm okay, I will survive –
I'll sleep here beneath the warmth of the car light.
