Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[PreChorus]
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
[Chorus]
So I play, I'll wait (Sha-la, I'll wait)
'Cause you know that love takes time (Even love between the lines)
We came so far (Sha-la, so far)
Just the beat of a lonely heart
And it's mine
And I don't want to be alone
[Verse 3]
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
[Verse 4]
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
[PreChorus]
And is there's glory there to behold?
Maybe it's my imagination
Another story there to be told, oh
[Chorus]
So I play, I'll wait (Sha-la, the time)
And I pray it's not too late (Is it too late?)
We came so far (Sha-la, so far)
Just the beat of a lonely heart
And it's mine
And I don't want to be alone
[PreChorus]
And all the wonders made for the earth
And all the hearts in all creation
Another story there to be told, oh
[Verse 5]
So I play, I'll wait (Sha-la, I'll wait)
And I pray it's not too late (Making love between the lines)
We came so far (Sha-la, so far)
Just the beat of a lonely heart
And it's mine
And I don't want to be alone
[Outro]
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 I don't want to be alone)
And clean out of sight
I'm caught in the rain and there's no one home (And I don't want to be alone)
Face the heat of the night
The one that you love's got a heart that's made of stone (And I don't want to be alone)
Shine and search for the light
And sooner or later you'll be cruising on your ocean (And I don't want to be alone)
And clean out of sight
I'm caught in the rain and there's no one home (And I don't want to be alone)
