I was a midnight rider on a cloud of smoke
I could make a woman hang on every single stroke
I was an iron man
I had a master plan
But I was alone
I could hear you breathing
With a sigh of the wind
I remember how your body started trembling
Oh, what a night it's been
And for the state I'm in
I'm still alone
And all the wonders made for the earth
And all the hearts in all creation
Somehow, I always end up alone
Always end up alone
So I play (sha la), I'll wait (I'll wait)
'Cause you know that love takes time
(Living loves between the line)
We came (sha la), so far (so far)
Just the beat of a lonely heart
And it's mine
I don't want to be alone
Well, since I got no message on your answer phone
And since your busy every minute
I just stay at home
I make believe you care
I feel you everywhere
But 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 imagination
Another story there to be told
So I play (sha la), I'll wait (the time)
And I pray it's not too late (this is)
We came (sha la), so far (so far)
Just the beat of a lonely heart
And it's mine
I don't want to be alone
And all the wonders made for the earth
And all the hearts in all creation
Another story there to be told
So I play (sha la), I'll wait (I'll wait)
And I pray it's not too late
(Living loves between the line)
We came (sha la), so far (so far)
Just the beat of a lonely heart
And it's mine
I don't want to be alone
Gone, but not out of sight
I'm caught in the rain and there's no one home
Face the heat of the night
The one that you love's got a heart that's made of stone
Shine and search for the light
And sooner or later you'll be cruising on your ocean
And clean out of sight
I'm caught in the rain and there's no one home
Face the heat of the night
The one that you love's got a heart that's made of stone
Shine you search for the light
And sooner or later you'll be cruising on your ocean
(I don't want to be alone)
Shine, and clean out of sight
I'm caught in the rain
