Nothing is what it seems
Long distance truck driver, a strange encounter - - - now he fights for his life
She stands motionless waiting
a lone hitch hiker
Observed nervous awkward manner
Where are you going?
Hospital bed, inquisitive nurse asks
Where were you going?
Falling into deep trance
body paralyzed, room lights up
Mystic fiqure looming above
unsettled spirit beckoning hand
Saying Heading for Heaven
got lost on way
Join me on my journey
looking for a lift there.
Repeating a fatal crash of years ago will this ghost ever find her boyfriend - - - who waits for her in Heaven.
