Tears on the letter I write
There's a woman I long to touch
And I'm missin' her so much
But she's driftin' like a satellite
There's a neon light ablaze
There's a lonesome bell tone
Her father would emphasize
You got to be more than streetwise
But he practiced what he preached
There's a babe in the arms
And a long -time golden hand
And she winds back the clock
and she turns back the page
Of a book that nobody could write
Oh, where are you tonight?
Too profound and too pure
Too limit you had to explode
And that last hour of need
Of the road I left town and on
Strong men belittled by doubt
What my private thoughts were
He took goods in her name
But he missed just the same
Putting flowers on the shelf
She could feel my despair
And discovered her invisible self
There's a lion in the road,
There's a million dreams gone,
there's a landscape in flames
Well, I won't, then maybe I can, I might
Oh, if I could just find you tonight
I fought with my twin, that enemy within
Till both of us fell by the way
While the law looks the other way
hit me up for nickels and dimes
It felt out of place with my foot in his face
But he should have stayed
where his money was green
I bit into the root of forbidden fruit
With the juice running down my leg
I've dealt with your boss
Who'd never known about loss
Who always was too proud to beg
There's a white diamond gloom
On the dark side of this room
And a pathway that leads up to the stars
If you don't believe there's a price
There's a new day at dawn
And I've fi nally arrived
If I'm a day of you in the morning,
You'll know I've survived
I can't be lieve I'm alive
But without you it doesn't seem right
Oh, where are you tonight?
