Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Time was drifting, this rock had got to roll

So, I hit the road and made my getaway

Restless feeling, really got a hold

I started searching for a better way

[Verse 2]

And I kept on looking for a sign in the middle of the night

But, I couldn't see the light, no, I couldn't see the light

I kept on looking for a way to take me through the night

Couldn't get it right, couldn't get it right

[Verse 3]

Philly Fever, made me feel alright

But, I must admit it got the best of me

Gettin' down so deep I could've drowned

Now, I can't get back the way I used to be

[Verse 4]

And I kept on looking for a sign in the middle of the night

But, I couldn't see the light, no, I couldn't see the light

I kept on looking for a way to take me through the night

Couldn't get it right, couldn't get it right

[Verse 5]

New York City took me with the tide

And, I nearly died from hospitality

Left me stranded, took away my pride

Just another no account fatality

[Verse 6]

I kept on looking for a sign in the middle of the night

But, I couldn't see the light, no, I couldn't see the light

I kept on looking for a way to take me through the night

Couldn't get it right, couldn't get it right

[Verse 7]

I kept on looking for a sign in the middle of the night

But, I couldn't see the light, no, I couldn't see the light

I kept on looking for a way to take me through the night

Couldn't get it right, couldn't get it right

[Verse 8]

I kept on looking for a sign in the middle of the night

But, I couldn't see the light, no, I couldn't see the light

I kept on looking for a way to take me through the night

Couldn't get it right, couldn't get it right

[Verse 9]

I kept on looking for a sign in the middle of the night
