"Hands on the wheel"



No time to sleep,
no time for a rest,
the night appears odd and deep,
like the ocean,
wave by wave crushing on the shore,
drowning my hopes and rising my fear,
that's the way I feel,
right here right now,
with my hands on the wheel,
still on the wheel ...

I'm hunting down the miles,
drive as fast as I can,
while thinking of you,
knowing you all alone,
somewhere out there,
in this terrible disaster,
your weak voice on the phone,
as a last sign of life ...

Dear lord,
please make it go away,
whatever's the price,
I will accept the deal,
just all back for good,
and be with her again,
I got my hands on the wheel,
still on the wheel ...

My darling please be strong,
I'm close and near,
the sound of your heartbeat,
in my mind such as clear ...

I'm rushing down the road,
it's no bad dream,
this is for real,
I'm hunting down the miles,
with my hands on the wheel,
still on the wheel ...
