after you, I keep trying...

Don't do this, Frankie.

Don't do this to me.

I've been through a lot with you.

I've waited...

I've waited for you to want me

more than a friend or a lover or...

I've waited for you to love me.

Do you know how that feels?

No.

Because all that mattered

was you.

We made a mistake, Mary.

No, we didn't make a mistake.

We had a chance. I took it...

WHISPERS:
You don't want it...

You don't want it.

At least tell me why?

Why you don't want it...

Why you don't want me.

If everything that you'd ever ruined

fell from the sky at this moment,,,

,,then the world

would be covered in darkness,

Is this what you really wanted?

Is this the dream?

Do you have it now?

The shape of yourjourney,

at last you can see it,

Maybe it's time to start the clocks

ticking again,

Look time in the face,

Look at time in the face

and forget about the past,

Stop the past

leaking into your heart,

Forget, just stop the past

leaking into your heart,

But, then,,,

Sometimes, for some people,,,

,,things don't work out

as they might have hoped,

Hope is a strange thing -

a currency for people

who know they're losing,

The more familiar you are

with hope,,,

,,the less beautiful it becomes,

RAWLINGS:

I Dream A Highway

# Oh, I dream

# A highway back to you, love

# A winding ribbon

# With a band of gold

# A silver vision

# Come and rest my soul... #

Mary?

Come on, come on, pick up the phone,

- Hi, please leave a message,,,

- Mary, it's Frankie,

I just wanted to tell you,,,

DROPS PHONE:

MARY:
Frankie, I'm here,

Frankie?

Frankie?

# The Grand Ole Opry's

# Got a brand new band

# Lord, let me die

# With a hammer

# In my hand

# I dream

# A highway back to you... #

''The words are lovely,

dark and deep,''

''But I have promises to keep,''

''And miles to go before I sleep,,,

,,miles to go

before I sleep,''

# Thank the hatchetman

# Who forked my tongue

# I'll lie and wait

# Until the wagons come

# And dream

# A highway back to you

# The getaway

# Kickin' up cinders

# An empty wagon

# Full of rattlin' bones

# Moon in the mirror

# On a three-hour jones

# I dream

# A highway back to you

# Oh, I dream

# A highway back to you, love

# A winding ribbon

# With a band of gold

# A silver vision

# Come, arrest my soul

# I dream

# A highway back to you

# Which lover are you

# Jack of Diamonds

# Now you be Emmylou

# And I'll be Gram

# I send a letter

# Don't know who I am

# I dream

# A highway back to you... #
