Nightrider
by UB40
I remember somewhere in the rain,
the faces of the passers-by,
staring faces, broken blinds
the faces of the passers-by,
staring faces, broken blinds
I recall the situation clear,
standing in a crowded car,
I can feel the need in me
standing in a crowded car,
I can feel the need in me
CHORUS
Hold on, nightrider baby, hold on, you're a nightrider
Riding the night, searching for what is gone
Never reaching the end, so you must travel on
Riding the night, searching for what is gone
Never reaching the end, so you must travel on
I still see that vision of delight,
while cruising on the black of night,
but she keeps a step ahead
while cruising on the black of night,
but she keeps a step ahead
Looking out the corner of her world,
nobody ever knows a girl
who once lived along this way
nobody ever knows a girl
who once lived along this way
CHORUS
Desolation, degradation row,
go on, don't let the feeling show,
she's a ten, a penny dream
go on, don't let the feeling show,
she's a ten, a penny dream
Faces with no name and no address
keep staring in on my distress,
but she kills me with her smile
keep staring in on my distress,
but she kills me with her smile
CHORUS
