Miles of highway poppies 
A stretch of maybe flowers 
Past Signal Hill away 
We were parked and searching 
For a hubcap rolling 
Into the fields of thorn 

Although we couldn't see a thing that night 
And the stars 
In their slowness 
And their slowness took us by surprise 

If I never told you 
How you helped to rescue 
The car and all inside 
Remember roads were steep and 
You and I went sliding down 
The grade from Gate's Pass 

You asleep and me behind the wheel 
Hovering in, 
In that slowness 
And that slowness 
Has never gone away 

Although we couldn't see a thing
And the stars still shone 
And the stars still shone 
And the stars still shone 
In their slowness 
In their slowness 
In their slowness 
In their slowness 
And their slowness 
Has never gone away
