Lyrics

I was a mid night rid er on a cloud of smoke, I could make a wom an hang on ev ’ry sin gle stroke.

I (Gsus2)was an i ron man.

I (G)had a mas ter plan, but (D)I was a lone.

I’m I could hear you breath ing with a sigh of the wind.

I re mem ber how your bod y start ed trem bl ing.

Oh, what a night it’s ject been, the pain?

and for the state I’m ger in, the rain?

I’m still a lone.

And all the (Bm)won ders made for the Earth

and all the hearts

in all cre (Bm)a tion, some how I (D)al ways end up a lone,

al ways end up a lone.

So, I play, (sha la) I’ll wait, (I’ll wait) ’cause you know that love takes time.

We came (sha la) so far, (so far) just the beat of a lone ly heart,

and it’s mine.

And I don’t want to be a (D)lone.

Well, since I (Bm)glo ry there to be hold?

May be it’s (A)my

i mag i (Bm)na tion, an oth er (Em7)sto ry there to be told.

So, I play, (sha la) I’ll wait, (in time) and I pray it’s not too late.

We came, (sha la) so far, (so far) just the beat of a lone ly heart,

and it’s mine.

And I don’t want to be a (D)lone.

And all the (Bm)won ders made for the Earth

and all the (A)hearts

in all cre (Bm)a tion, an oth er (Em7)sto ry there to be told.

So, I play, (sha la) I’ll wait, (in time) and I pray it’s not too late.

We came, (sha la) so far, (so far) just the beat of a lone ly heart,

Gone, but not out of sight.

I’m caught in the rain and you’ll there’s no ing one your home.

Face the heat of the night.

The one that you love’s got a heart that’s made of (D)stone.

Shine and search for the light, and soon er or lat and you’ll be cruis ing on your o

I’m caught in the rain and there’s heart that’s made of no one home.
