Lonely Is the Night Songtext

von David Knopfler

Lonely is the night when you find yourself alone
Your demons come to light and your mind is not your own
Lonely is the night when there's no one left to call
You feel the time is right, say the writin's on the wall

It's a high time to fight when the walls are closin' in
Call it what you like
It's time you got to win
Lonely, lonely, lonely
Your spirit's sinkin' down
You find you're not the only stranger in this town

Red lights, green lights, stop 'n go jive
Headlines, deadlines jammin' your mind
You been stealin' shots from the side
Let your feelin's go for a ride

There's danger out tonight
The man is on the prowl
Get the dynamite
The boys are set to howl
Lonely is the night when you hear the voices call
Are you ready for a fight
Do you wanna take it all

Slowdown, showdown
Waitin' on line
Showtime, no time for changin' your mind
Streets are ringin', march to the sound
Let your secrets follow you down

Somebody's watchin' you baby
So much you can do
Nobody's stoppin' you baby, from makin' it too
One glimpse'll show you now baby, what the music can do
One kiss'll show you now baby
It can happen to you

No more sleepin', wastin' our time
Midnight creepin's first on our minds
No more lazin' 'round the tv
You'll go crazy
Come out with me
