The shadows of the full moon

tint the embers of my fire

An owl hoots out his muted tune

A one note forest choir

On my bike again, I ride again,

through these rock and rolling hills

I’ve left my band, to be the man

And pay my lovers heartbreak bills.

——

You are all I think about

as I head into the sky

I hope you have been missing me

The question is just, why.

——-

In the dim and misty past

Our warm nights are just ashes

And my unforgiven treason is the reason

For my ceaseless restless blast

And I want you in the night

To feel you tight within

I’m gonna do the thing that’s right

I wanna fuel our fire again

— chorus——

And ohhhh, I can see you there

with your gypsy dark eyes shining

And ooh I really want you still

Our love is worth enshrining

I will show you, as I told you once

That every lonely cloud,

Has a silver lining.

——

I sweep on down the mountain roads

My lines are sweet and tight

You’re in my head, I’m in your bed

I’m gonna see your face tonight

On the back roads of the desert

my blood, my life is pouring

I’ll make up for those empty months

I’ve been away and touring.

——

You can look at me and send me back

You can tell me that it’s too late

But I hope you won’t, my only one

Please let me be your fate

Cos I want you in the night

To feel you tight within

I’m gonna do the thing that’s right

I wanna fuel our fire again.

—-

And ohhhh, I can see you there

with your gypsy dark eyes shining

And ooh I really want you still

Our love is worth enshrining

I will show you, as I told you once

that every lonely cloud,

Has a silver lining

,

Wild demons dance

Feel the passion and the heat

In the city of the lovers

Through the canyons of the street

–

I will show you, as I told you once

that every lonely cloud,

Has a silver lining
