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, always end up alone

So I’ll play, I’ll wait
‘Cause you know that love takes time
Living love between the line
We came (sha la) so close (so far)
Just the beat of a lonely heart
And it’s mine, and I don’t wanna be alone

Well, since I got no message on your answer phone
Since you’re 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 (sha la)
And I pray it’s not too late
We came (sha la) so far (so far)
Just a beat of a lonely heart 
and it’s mine, and I don’t wanna be alone

Gone but not out of sight
I’m caught in the rain and there’s no one home
I don’t wanna be alone face the heat of the the night
The one that you love’s got a heart that’s made of stone
You 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
