Lyrics
I was a midnight rider on a cloud of smokeI could make a woman hang on every single strokeI was an iron man, I had a master planBut I was alone
I could hear you breathing with a sigh of the windI remember how your body started tremblingOh, what a night it’s been for the state I’m inI’m still alone
And all the wonders made for the earthAnd all the hearts in all creationSomehow I always end up alone (always end up alone)Always end up alone
So I’ll play, I’ll wait‘Cause you know that love takes timeWe came so farJust the beat of a lonely heartAnd it’s mineAnd I don’t wanna be alone
Well, since I got no message on your answer phoneSince you’re busy every minute, I just stay at homeI make believe you care, I feel you everywhereBut I’m still alone
I’m on a wheel of fortune with a twist of fate‘Cause I know it isn’t heaven, is it love or hate?Am I the subject of the pain?Am I the stranger in the rain?I am alone
And is there glory there to behold?Maybe it’s my imaginationAnother story there to be told
So I’ll play, I’ll waitAnd I pray it’s not too lateWe made it so farJust the beat of a lonely heartAnd it’s mineAnd I don’t wanna be alone
And all the wonders made for the earthAnd all the hearts in all creationAnother story there to be told
So I’ll play, I’ll waitAnd I pray it’s not too lateWe made it so farJust the beat of a lonely heartAnd it’s mineAnd I don’t wanna be alone
Gone but not out of sightI’m caught in the rain and there’s no one homeFace the heat of the nightThe one that you love got a heart that’s made of stoneShine and search for the lightAnd sooner or later you’ll be cruising on your oceanAnd clean out of siteI’m caught in the rain and there’s no one home
