All Night Home Lyrics
shining motorcycle
through the trees we rifle
we're gonna drive
all night home
we're gonna drive
all night home
down to West Virginia
like the blood within ya
we're gonna drive
all night home
we're gonna drive
all night home
shining motorcycle
all her worries stifled
we're gonna drive
all night home
we're gonna drive
all night home
this ought to hold her now
this ought to hold her now
this ought to hold her now
this ought to hold her now
through the trees we rifle
all night home
we're gonna drive
all night home
like the blood within ya
all night home
we're gonna drive
all night home
all her worries stifled
all night home
we're gonna drive
all night home
this ought to hold her now
this ought to hold her now
this ought to hold her now

A sleepy song... makes you feel like you're coming home from a camping trip or something, and you're on the back of a motorcycle, and everything seems sort of surreal as you're whizzing down the highway. This song feels late at night. It feels half asleep.
"This ought to hold her now..." I love that part. Such quintessential Sparklehorse there. Lord knows what it means; maybe he's referring to the bike? Maybe it busted and he made a quick fix.
Obviously I don't exactly have great insight. But this song is lovely.

I agree on this being a sleepy song. It reminds me of being a little kid dozing off in the back of the car late at night, in and out of consciousness and seeing the tops of trees and street lamps going by.
