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, I'll wait

'Cause you know that love takes time

We came 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, I'll wait

And I pray it's not too late

You know we came 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, I'll wait

And I pray it's not too late

You know we came 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-acap
