Asleep At The Wheel

I found you naked
I found you in bright-colored rags
I found you there in your sacred despair
In tears of rage
Oh I found you in tears of rage

You know why the night's made to suffer
You stood where your mercy was maimed
And when you see into another you'll be made into a lover
With far more to give than your name
With far more to give than what you take

So come now stranger I've longed for you
Come with your wounding revealed

You know I am he who has pulled you from the sea
And you know how it hurts to be healed
Asleep at the wheel

I heard your voice in the canyons
I saw your handprints on the wall
I tried to fill the boots that you stand but I knew
I never could stand as tall
Oh I'd never stand half as tall

Now the poems drip off their pages
The sickness becomes its own cure
As you watch from your view the season's changes change you
You dance with what you've endured
Oh you dance with all that you've endured

So come now stranger I've longed for you
Come with your wounding revealed

You know I am he who pulled you from the sea
And you know how it hurts to be healed
Asleep at the wheel

Asleep at the wheel
Asleep at the wheel
Asleep at the wheel
Asleep at the wheel
