Blister of the Spotlight

Walking in Soho Raindrops were so slow Reading the marquee You're not here with me Lunch at the chateau Late for the rap show Listening to (???) Thinking why you're not with me Drinks at the Met Bar Wondering where you are Strangers say strange things The trouble that fame brings Calls to your cell phone Stuck here, I (?) go alone Alone at the hotel Stories I can tell They say that I'm a star, all alone But you're so far away Wherever you are, all alone I'd give it all away For you to stay In my arms tonight I'm longing to hold you tight Need to hear you say it'll be all right I want you to say You'll be holding me every night In your arms and out of sight From the blister of the spotlight Friends at the lobby Waiting to see me The darkness of Berlin Seclusion that I'm in Shopping in Milan The pleasure won't last long The faces that I see Lost my hotel key Downing a cocktail Checking my email Back in Miami Feeling so empty Airport in Rome So long since I've been home Hoping that I'll see Waiting there for me
