The Long Lonely night
There were times when I felt like that beast that wanders through earthly landscapes just looking to survive, not knowing where I will end up or why. In those times, I wasn't sad or unhappy but there was always this feeling that there was something lacking in my existence. It was a time in my life where I was searching for just the right person whose path would converge with mine and that I could share my life with. I knew that someday my spirit would come across another and together we would traverse this part of the journey together.
Full moon o’er the city
There's a gleam in the eye of the beast, he's howling to the light
His cry is oh so lonely as it echoes thru the night
Searching, I know his life
His heart seems so empty
Yet he's filled with a passion so rare, it captures the air
His life longs for meaning as he beckons for a sign
Hoping another he'll find
Oh I know his lonely life
In his eyes, pain to hide
Oh I know he only tries
As he follows faded signs
His dreams fill the seasons
There's a glimmer of hope in his eye, a solicitous cry
For devotion of another, he’ll patiently await
Someday, somewhere in time
someday, somewhere in......... Time
Alone in the Night
the Long, Lonely Night
the Long, Lonely.......... Night
