|
Lovers come and lovers go |
|
But it's never twice the same |
|
Happiness is hard to show |
|
When you're numb to all the pain |
|
And I've been floatin' 'round |
|
Like an old newspaper |
|
Blowin' down some windy street |
|
Feeling so alone and incomplete |
|
But there's nowhere to hide |
|
Where the night can't find me |
|
Where the light of the sun can't blind me |
|
Like the light in a woman's eyes |
|
There's nowhere to hide |
|
From the dream that drives me |
|
Like a fire burning deep inside me |
|
Oh, I know she'll be there tonight |
|
Can the future be foretold |
|
In a faded photograph |
|
Can a dream be bought and sold |
|
Well, I guess |
|
I have to laugh |
|
Sippin' on a scotch and soda |
|
A shadow in the corner booth |
|
So philosophic and drunk on grown-up truth |
|
But there's nowhere to hide |
|
Where the night can't find me |
|
Where the light of the sun can't blind me |
|
Like the light in a woman's eyes |
|
There's nowhere to hide |
|
From the dream that drives me |
|
Like a fire burning deep inside me |
|
Oh, I know she'll be there tonight |
|
Half-forgotten fragments |
|
Of a high school dance |
|
In the dead white hours of winter |
|
When we loved so hard |
|
That we thought it would never end |
|
Tryin' to remember |
|
How it used to feel |
|
When a kiss was something special |
|
And I wonder now |
|
Will it ever be again |
|
But there's nowhere to hide |
|
Where the night can't find me |
|
Where the light of the sun can't blind me |
|
Like the light in a woman's eyes |
|
There's nowhere to hide |
|
From the dream that drives me |
|
Like a fire burning deep inside me |
|
Oh, I know she'll be there tonight |
|
Lovers come and lovers go |
|
But it's never twice the same |
|
Happiness is hard to show |
|
When you're numb to all the pain |
|
And I've been floatin' round |
|
Like an old newspaper |
|
Blowin' down some windy street |
|
Feeling so alone and incomplete |
|
But there's nowhere to hide |
|
Where the night can't find me |
|
Where the light of the sun can't blind me |
|
Like the light in a woman's eyes |
|
There's nowhere to hide |
|
From the dream that drives me |
|
Like a fire burning deep inside me |
|
Oh, I know she'll be there tonight |
|
Yes, I know she'll be there tonight |
