Tap On The Window

Driving down the road hours on end
Starting to wonder if I would find that friend
Filling the tank when the light goes on
Eating and sleeping chasing the dawn

Along the way hitchhikers thumb
Looking for a ride and looking numb
Blank stares and empty thoughts
Like deers in headlights they stare at naught

I pick 'em up and drop 'em off wishing them the best
Happy they are gone so I can resume my quest
Across the country and across my life
I drive to find a place where I can survive

To rest for a while I pull off and sleep
To rest my eyes and my thoughts so deep
As I sleep I hear a light defined tap
The knock on the window arouses my nap

I slowly open my eyes wondering what it could be
My blurred vision is startled by what I see
A beauty to behold through the passengers side
Tapping to awaken me, to take me for a ride

To live in search is to search in vain
Vanity keeps searching to heal the pain
When you least expect it the search will end
I have found what I was looking for, I found my friend.
