The Dog Days - Helping Hand lyrics

You called me once You called me twice I wouldn't listen to your advice As the phone lay off the hook All my motives you mistook But I felt your helping hand There's a saying told by man You shouldn't catch a falling friend Why you'd want to fall with me I don't know but you'll soon see That there is no promised land Oh, so don't let it go to waste We're all too often Reeled in by fate I'm just a damaged fool And you're reaching out too soon I tore the words from every page To wear the wisdom of a sage But the cloak it never fits I'm always naked under it Won't you ever understand? So I'm told that all you need Is to ask and you'll receive But the problem never hides Its the same old foolish pride And it stops the helping hands Yeah, so don't let it go to waste We're all too often reeled in by fate I'm just a damaged fool And you're reaching out too soon So... don't let us go to waste We're all too often reeled in by fate I'm just a damaged fool And I'm reaching out to you... Still I turn & Still you yearn For the gesture to be returned Bridges builtBridges burned Wonder if we'll ever learn That it's just a helping hand
