\tab She rides the eye of a Hurricane.

David Wilcox\rquote s voice faded after the final refrain and I turned the radio off, leaving just the sound of the windshield wipers. We drove in silence for a while.
\'93It\rquote s been a while since I heard that song,\'94 I said at last}{\insrsid7669700 . My passenger didn\rquote t say anything}{\insrsid4681206 .}{\insrsid1595717 I glanced over but couldn\rquote t read her expression in the dark.}{
\insrsid4681206
\'93My college girlfriend}{\insrsid11238723 used to listen to that song all the time}{\insrsid7669700 ,\'94 I continued}{\insrsid4681206 . }{\insrsid7669700 \'93}{\insrsid4681206 When she was feeling sad, she\rquote d turn the lights down low and put }{
\insrsid11238723 it}{\insrsid4681206 on. I\rquote d hold her in the dark until the tears passed.\'94
I paused, }{\insrsid12981253 remembering}{\insrsid4681206 . Remembering her in my arms. }{\insrsid11238723 How she would }{\insrsid7669700 move}{\insrsid11238723 from her sadness into gentle happiness. }{\insrsid12981253 H}{\insrsid4681206
er smile and gentle touch. }{\insrsid12981253 Remembering o}{\insrsid4681206 ur slow gentle lovemaking that would last all night.
\'93So what happe}{\insrsid12981253 ned to her?\'94 my passenger asked, interrupting my thoughts.}{\insrsid4681206
\'93She left. Said she had to at least try to chase her dream. I argued she should stay with me or take me with her. She refused. Eventually she stopped returning my calls. Then my letter}{\insrsid11947214 s started coming back \lquote Addressee}{
\insrsid4681206 Moved. No Forwarding Address.\rquote \'94
\'93Oh.\'94
}{\insrsid1595717 I shrugged, as I had done a million times before. \'93She decided I was second best.\'94
}{\insrsid4681206 We drove another block in silence.
\'93}{\insrsid1595717 I should explain that,\'94 I said}{\insrsid11238723 , though I knew I }{\insrsid11947214 really }{\insrsid11238723 didn\rquote t}{\insrsid11947214 have to}{\insrsid1595717 . \'93}{\insrsid7669700 There\rquote s a verse in the}{
\insrsid4681206 song
\tab }{\i\insrsid4681206\charrsid1595717 When you lay your dreams to rest
\tab You can get what\rquote s second best
\tab But it\rquote }{\i\insrsid1595717 s hard to get enough}{\i\insrsid4681206\charrsid1595717
}{\insrsid4681206
}{\insrsid1595717 \'93}{\insrsid4681206 She used to say it was true, so true.}{\insrsid1595717 I didn\rquote t realize she was right until later.\'94}{\insrsid4681206
}{\insrsid1595717
}{\insrsid11238723 My passenger didn\rquote t say anything}{\insrsid1595717 . I hadn\rquote t expected her to. }{\insrsid15236040 She\rquote d gotten what she wanted from our encounter and I\rquote d gotten at least some of my own second best. }{
\insrsid1595717 I glanced over and saw her staring out the window.
\'93Let me out up here, okay?\'94 I nodded and pulled over to the curb. Then I reached for my wallet.
\'93Here\rquote s another fifty.\'94
\'93Wow! Thanks, Mister!\'94 The money disappeared into her bra. \'93Look, if you want to party again, I\rquote ll be around.
\'93I know where to find you,\'94 I agreed. She got out of the car into the rain and walked away, not looking back.
\line Then I put the car in gear and headed back into the night. The storm was starting up again and I still had a }{\insrsid12653653 long way}{\insrsid1595717 to go.
