electric light orchestra – nightrider lyrics

i remember somewhere in the rain,
the faces of the p-ssers-by, staring faces, broken blinds,
i recall the situation clearly standing in a crowded car,
i can feel the need in me.

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.

i still see that vision of delight,
while cruising on the black of night,
but she keeps a step ahead
looking out the corner of her world, n-body ever knows a girl,
who once lived along this way.

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.

desolation degradation row,
go on don’t let the feeling show,
she’s a ten a penny dream,
faces with no name no address, keep staring in on my distress
but she kills me with her smile.

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.
