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's 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 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

An I the stranger in the rain

I am alone



And if 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

We came so far

Just a 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

We came so far

Just a 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
