Lyrics

I'm lost again
And I'm on the run
Looking for love
In a sad song
With your avenger eyes
And your catlike ways, I can hold you
You are a fool for me to be cruel
I'm leaning on this bar
Listening to you sing
And your sad song
Rings in my ears and I start to cry
He's searching
She's showing
See him held in a deep, deep spell
He knows, she's glowing
I can find within my mind a way to go
I can look deep into your light and shout
Hold me, hold me, hold me, hold me, hold me
I hear the saxophone
And it tears my soul
And we're feeling old
Feeling so cold
She is the torch
And she is the theme
She could be a dream but
Oh, boy, is she real?
Try to avoid her eyes
To avoid her words
They will hit you
With all that you feel
He's searching
She's showing
See him held in a deep, deep spell
He knows, she's glowing
I can find within my mind a way to go
I can look deep into your light and shout
Hold me, hold me, hold me, hold me, hold me
See her eyes
They are bright tonight
See the stars
Coming out tonight
See the moon
Looking down tonight
See how they
Light your way tonight
See my eyes
They are bright tonight
See my hands
Reaching out tonight
Hear my words
They are dynamite
See how they
Light your way tonight
When I first met you
You looked a lot like Billie Holiday
That blue backless dress
The one with the sequins
And a single white gardenia
I was probably drunk
I had no make-up on
Oh, but you had such style
Oh really?
And those words you sang
It was my life story
It was mine too
I remember I drank too much
And made a fool of myself
You looked okay to me, but
You looked like maybe you know you're in trouble
I went to grab you and kiss you
But I'd thought you'd hit me
Too bright, baby
But those words just kept calling
Calling, calling, calling
You're lost again
And you´re on the run
Looking for love
In a sad song
With my avenger eyes
And my catlike ways I can hold you
You are a fool for me to be cruel
He's searching
She's showing
See him held in a deep, deep spell
He knows she's glowing
I can find within my mind a way to go
I can look deep into your light and shout
Hold me, hold me, hold me, hold me, hold me
See her eyes
They are bright tonight
See the stars
Coming out tonight
See the moon
Looking down tonight
See how they
Light your way tonight
See my eyes
They are bright tonight
See my hands
Reaching out tonight
Hear my words
They are dynamite
See how they
Light your way tonight
See her eyes
They are bright tonight
See the stars
Coming out tonight
See the moon
Looking down tonight
See how they
Light your way tonight
See her eyes
They are bright tonight
See the stars
See my hands
Reaching out tonight
Coming out tonight
See the moon
Hear the words
Looking down tonight
They are dynamite
See how they
Light your way tonight
See her eyes
They are bright tonight
See how they
Light your way tonight
