Nightrider

Electric Light Orchestra · Flashback [2000]

I remember somewhere in the rain,

The faces of the passers-by,

Staring faces broken blinds,

I recall the situation clearly 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.



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,

Nobody ever knows a girl, who once lived along this way.



CHORUS: Repeat



Desolation degradation row,

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.



CHORUS : Repeat
