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      So I play, I'll wait   'Cause you know that love takes time   We came so far   Just the beat of a lonely heart   And it's mine   I don't want to be alone      Well, since I got no message on your answer phone   And since your 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 glory there to behold   Maybe it's my imagination   Another story there to be told      So I play, I'll wait   And I pray it's not too late   You know we came so far   Just the beat of a lonely heart   And it's mine   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      So I play, I'll wait   And I pray it's not too late   You know we came so far   Just the beat of a lonely heart   And it's mine   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 clean 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 clean out of sight   I'm caught in the rain and there's no one home
