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.

I could hear you breathing
With a sigh of the wind
I remember how your body started trembling
Oh, what's a night it's been
And for the state Im in
Im still alone.

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.

[Chorus1:]
So I play, I'll wait
Cause you know that love takes time
We came so far
Just the beat of a lonely heart
And it's mine
I don't want to be alone.

2. Well, since I got no message on your answer phone
And since you're busy every minute.
I just stay at home
I make believe you care
I feel you everywhere
But Im still alone.

Im 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
An I the stranger in the rain
I am alone.

And if there glory there to behold
Maybe it's my imagination
Another story there to be told.

[Chorus2:]
So I play, I'll wait
And I pray it's not too late
We came so far
Just a beat of a lonely heart
And it's mine
I don't want to be alone.

[Bridge:]
And all the wonders made for the earth
And all the hearts in all creation
Another story there to be told.

[Chorus2]

[Coda:]
Gone, but not out of sight
Im caught in the rain and there's no one home
Face the heat of the night
The one that you loves 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 clean out of sight
Im caught in the rain and there's no one home.
