Highway
Ingrid Michaelson
Girls And Boys (2006)

On a highway along the atlantic I'm rifling through these
last 17 years.
The radio waxes romantic. Its lullabies fill our eyes with
tears.

We don't say a word.
There's nothing to say that hasn't been heard.
And how you've grown my little bird.
I'm regretting letting you fly.

6 pounds and 7 ounces. A ball of bones and flesh and tears were
you.
Now your hands, your tiny pink hands, grew larger than my hands
ever grew.


We don't say a word.
There's nothing to say that hasn't been heard.
And how you've grown my little bird.
I'm regretting letting you fly.
I'm regretting letting you fly.
I'm regretting letting you fly.

On a highway. On a highway.
