Intro:
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 a night it's been, And for the state I'm in
I'm still alone
BRIDGE 1
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, (Sha’ la) I’ll wait (I’ll wait)
'Cause you know that love takes time (Livin love between the lines)
We came, (Sha’ la) so far (so far)
Just the beat of a lonely heart
And it's mine
And I don't want to be alone
VERSE
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
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
BRIDGE 2
And if the glory there to behold
Maybe it's my imagination
Another story there to be told… oow
CHORUS
So I play, (Sha’ la) I'll wait (At times)
And I pray it's not too late……… (Tears that you cry)
We came (Sha’ la) so far (so far)
Just the beat of a lonely heart
And it's mine (pause)
And I don't want to be alone
BRIDGE 3
And all the wonders made for the Earth
And all the hearts in all creation
Another story there to be told… oow
CHORUS
So I play, (Sha’ la) I’ll wait (I’ll wait)
And I pray it's not too late (Livin love between the lines)
We came (Sha’ la) so far (so far)
Just the beat of a lonely heart
And it's mine
And I don't want to be alone
CODA
D throughout
Gone, but not out of sight
I'm caught in the rain and there's no one home
Gonna 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 o-cean
And clean out of sight
I'm caught in the rain and there's no one home
