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 want to 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 mi-i-ine And 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'll play I'll wait And I'll pray it's not too late We can so far Just the beat of a lonely heart And it's mine And 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 site I'm caught in the rain and there's no one home
