Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You've got the world on a string
Golden trinkets and diamond rings
A motion from that graceful hand
Carried you over Saharan sands
Moving like a dream
You sang your way over frozen seas
You say you'll return to me
But listen, darling, before you leave
[Chorus]
Don't travel through the night alone
You'll never make it, baby
The way is strange, the stars are wrong
I know it drives you crazy, but
Don't travel through the night
[Verse 2]
Rings of smoke 'round auburn curls
Jealous sighs from the other girls
Gambled hours and honed your charms
Stood with starlight in your arms
Sent your love to me
In perfumed cursive I long to read
You say you'll return to me
But listen, darling, before you leave
[Chorus]
Don't travel through the night alone
You'll never make it, baby
The way is strange, the stars are wrong
I know it drives you crazy, but
Don't travel through the night alone
On great machines of shining chrome
Don't travel through the night alone
I pray you find your way back home
