Long After Dark

There's something wrong, i can't get my finger on it
I must be looking over something
Sometimes at night i've had to fight with this emptiness
It's been so hard to see, there's something more than this

I'm finding out, i'm finding out
Yeah it took a little ti me to get what love was about
But honey i'm coming 'round
I'm finding out

I've had enough of all this hard core loneliness
I don't think pain is so romantic
I'm just a working man
I feel each day go by
I couldn't understan d i was too weak to fight

But i'm finding out, i'm finding out
It took a little time for me to stand up and shout
But honey i'm coming 'round, i'm finding out

I have to thank you baby, honey i must confess
You have pulled me from this river of loneliness

I'm finding out, baby i'm finding out
Yeah it took a little time to get what love was about
But honey i'm coming 'round
I'm finding out

Yeah i remember you back in '72
With your david bowie hair and your platform shoes
A part-time job, sellin' fast food
But out on the street you were nobody's fool

Baby way down deep it's the same old you
Way down deep you ain't hiding the truth
Just for a minute you had me fooled
Baby way down deep it's the same old you

Well you can walk through the city on fire
You can try and turn away from the truth
Living life like a young politician
Sure of yourself and bullet-proof
But baby,

Way down deep it's the same old you
Way down deep you ain't hiding the truth
Just for a minute you had me confused
Baby way down deep it's the same old you

We could buy a '62 cadillac
Put a fender amplifier in the back
Drive straight to the heart of america
Turn up to ten, let that sucker blast

Baby way down deep it's the same old you
Way down deep you ain't hiding the truth
Just for a minute you had me fooled
Baby way down deep it's the same old you

Stand back from me honey
Because i don't know what i might do next
No i'm surprised by this, frightened by this
Nothin' ever got me so out of my head, baby

We stand a chance
We stand a chance
Yeah, and i could be wrong, but you never know
We could stand the chance of a real love

Oh, god knows i love you
God knows i do,
Baby will you let me just prove it to you
Come here to me baby, come here to me now
I wanna talk to you, talk to you
And tell you somehow, that

We stand a chance
We stand a chance
Yeah, and i could be wrong, but you never know
We could stand the chance of a real love

I'm so moved, i'm so changed
My whole world is a fountain of flame

We stand a chance
We stand a chance
Yeah, and i could be wrong, but you never know
We could stand the chance of a real love

I got a dirty, dirty feelin'
That i just can't shake
Yeah my brain keeps burnin'
And my body just aches

I know a woman's body
Is only flesh and bone
A woman's body is
Only flesh and bone

How come i can't let go?
I'm between two worlds
I said oh yeah, i'm out of my mind
I'm between two worlds

There's a lot of people talkin'
'bout the danger zone
There's adventure novels
'bout takin' to the road

I know a woman's body
Is only flesh and bone
How come i can't let go
I'm between two worlds

There was a little girl, i used t o know her
I still think about her, time to time
There was a moment when i really loved her
Then one day the feeling just died

We went straight into darkness
Out over the line
Yeah straight into darkness
Straight into nigh t

I remember flying out to london
I remember the feeling at the time
Out the window of the 747
Man there was nothin', only black sky

We went straight into darkness
Out over the line
Straight into darkness
Straight into night

Oh give it up to me i need it
Girl, i know when i see it
Baby wrong or right i need it

I don't believe the good times are over
I don't believe the thrill is all gone
Real love is a man's salvation
The weak ones fall the strong carry on

Straight into darkness
Out over the line
Yeah straight into darkness
Straight into night
