Asleep at the Wheel Letra

The clouds are heavy and breaking at their seams
I haven't finished building my ark
So if you could say goodnight
This flood could be avoided

Asleep at the wheel again
It's just you and I
As you murder July
The leaves came and went
And then they grew again
And are starting to die
Why do we follow these seasons?
Why can't you just let it die?

Goodnight now, my melancholy muse
It rained for 40 days and 40 nights too long
And all around me, this aquatic, murky graveyard
Speaks of new beginnings to old mistakes
I like to think that, that now I've paid my dues
To some picture on the wall
And a meaningless muse
