Josh Ritter - Kathleen

all the other girls here are stars—you are the Northern Lights 


they try to shine in through your curtains—you’re too close and too bright 


they try and they try but everything that they do 


is the ghost of a trace of a pale imitation of you 





I’ll be the one to drive you back home Kathleen 


this party is made with the night air and the chance that a smile 


will wind its way from your face to one of the boys in your line 


you act like you’re hip to their tricks and you’re strong 


but a virgin Wurlitzer heart never once had a song 


I’ll be the one to drive you back home Kathleen 


and I’ll have you back by break of day 


I’m going your way anyway 


and if you’d like to come along 


I’ll be yours for a song 


I know you are waiting and I know that it is not for me 


but I’m here and I’m ready and I’ve saved you the passenger seat 


I won’t be your last dance just your last goodnight 


every heart is a package tangled up in knots someone else tied 


I’ll be the one to drive you back home Kathleen 


so crawl up your trellis and quietly back into your room 


and I’ll coast down the length of your drive by the light of the moon 


and the next time I see you—a new kind of hello 


both our hearts have a secret only both of us know 


‘bout the night that I drove you back home Kathleen
