lyrics

Running blind headlong into the eye of the night
Knowing I'll be alright I can survive till tomorrow
But the flashes of life have me running for cover in pure fright
Comes a time about three in the morming the cracks start to show

When the devil comes out of his hole
When the devil comes round for your soul
And the silence is shattered
Your senses are battered
And your hearts on the midnight patrol

Refrain:
Hold this stranger tonight
I'm running for cover

Where is the reason in saying the things that I'm saying
I hear my voice but it has a life all of it's own
Like a prisoner of conscience I'm locked in a game I'm not playing
Like a prisoner of war I'm defenceless and faceless as stone

I'm a prisoner without any chains
I'm calling out to you again
And if you can reach me
Please wont you teach me
To live with my scars and my stains

Refrain:

Like a battle scared soldier I carry my pride like a flag
While under the surface I know that I'm battered and reeling
And I wait and you wait and watch as the hours just drag
While all that it takes is a touch for the wounds to start healing

I'm waiting for you in this black night
It's you that can bring back the light
And if you can hold me like a lover and infold me
And tell me that we'll be allright

Refrain:
