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 breathin' with a sigh of the wind I remember how your body started tremblin' 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'll play (sha-la), I'll wait (I'll wait) 'Cause you know that love takes time (even love between the lines) We made (sha-la) so far (so far) Just the beat of a lonely heart And it's mine And I don't wanna 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 if the glory there to behold Maybe it's my imagination Another story there to be told, oh So I'll play (sha-la), I'll wait (your time) And I pray it's not too late (is it too late?) We made (sha-la) so far (so far) Just the beat of a lonely heart And it's mine And I don't wanna 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'll play (sha-la), I'll wait (I'll wait) And I pray it's not too late (even love between the lines) We made (sha-la) so far (so far) Just a beat of a lonely heart And it's mine And I don't wanna 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 got a heart that's made of stone Shine and search for the light And sooner or later you'll be cruisin' on your ocean (and I don't wanna be alone) Shine and clean out of sight I'm caught in the rain and there's no one home (and I don't wanna be alone)
