Four Wheels and a Prayer

Verse 1

Midnight

Gas light flickers out

The upholstery is cold and damp

I am folding

Folding the back seat flat

My winter coat is the only blanket I have left

Verse 2

Stiff

Walk past the overpass

White crosses in the mud

Flowers turning grey

Rain

Falling on the tape

It wont stick to the rusted pole

New flyers

Fresh ink

Your smile is bleeding into the concrete

No one looks up

Everyone is walking fast

Chorus

I am still here

I am still here

Waiting for the phone to ring in the dark

Searching for the light in your eyes

I am still here

You are not a ghost to me

I am still here

I am still here

I will never stop pulling at the thread

Verse 3

Tents

Line the alleyway

Needles in the gutter

Shadows

Moving in the fog

I check the faces under every hood

Looking

Praying

Fearing what I might find

I am living in a tomb on four wheels

The world keeps spinning

My watch stopped the day you went away

Chorus

I am still here

I am still here

Waiting for the phone to ring in the dark

Searching for the light in your eyes

I am still here

You are not a ghost to me

I am still here

I am still here

I will never stop pulling at the thread

Bridge

They say let go

They say move on

They say it is over

But I am the father

I am the anchor

I am the memory

If I stop then you are gone

If I stop then you are lost

If I stop then I am nothing

Chorus

I am still here

I am still here

Waiting for the phone to ring in the dark

Searching for the light in your eyes

I am still here

You are not a ghost to me

I am still here

I am still here

I will never stop pulling at the thread

Outro

Traffic moves

People laugh

The sun comes up

But I am frozen

Just a man

In a car

Holding a piece of paper

Still looking

Still looking

Still

Looking

For you
