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

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

So I play, I'll wait (Sha-la, I'll wait)

'Cause you know that love takes time (Even love between the lines)

We came so far (Sha-la, so far)

Just the beat of a lonely heart

And it's mine

And I don't want to be alone

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

And is there's glory there to behold?

Maybe it's my imagination

Another story there to be told, oh

So I play, I'll wait (Sha-la, the time)

And I pray it's not too late (Is it too late?)

We came so far (Sha-la, so far)

Just the beat of a lonely heart

And it's mine

And I don't want to be alone

And all the wonders made for the earth

And all the hearts in all creation

Another story there to be told, oh

So I play, I'll wait (Sha-la, I'll wait)

And I pray it's not too late (Making love between the lines)

We came so far (Sha-la, so far)

Just the beat of a lonely heart

And it's mine

And I don't want to be alone

Gone but not out of sight

I'm caught in the rain and there's no one home

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 ocean (And I don't want to be alone)

And clean out of sight

I'm caught in the rain and there's no one home (And I don't want to be alone)

Face the heat of the night

The one that you love's got a heart that's made of stone (And I don't want to be alone)

Shine and search for the light

And sooner or later you'll be cruising on your ocean (And I don't want to be alone)

And clean out of sight

I'm caught in the rain and there's no one home (And I don't want to be alone)
