Draggin' the Lake

Soul Asylum · Candy From A Stranger [1998]

Sent on a mission to find out just how much shit one man can take

Went to the river to swim upstream but got dragged into the lake

You're wide awake

But still you're dreaming

Of the pride it takes

It has no meaning

Am I still here?

Can you see me? Please say yes

Can you heal me? Please say yes

When you watch over me, I am blessed

Now that you're all grown up you're not so self assured, you'll never know

Who do you answer to when no one's hanging round to let it show

You're wide awake

But still you're dreaming

The pride it takes

It has no meaning

Am I still here?

Can you hear me? Please say yes

Can you heal me? Please say yes

When you watch over me, I am blessed

You're old enough to know better than to expect anything

Take care of yourself you should know not to depend on anyone

Am I still here?

Can you feel me? Please say yes

Can you heal me? Please say yes

When you watch over me, I am blessed

Am I still here?

Can you see me? Please say yes

Can you heal me? Please say yes

When you watch over me, I am blessed
