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,

and it’s mine.

And I don’t want to be a (D)lone.

And all the And I don’t want to be a (D)lone.

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

cean and clean out of sight.

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