Tommy Shaw Somewhere In The Night
Driving through the midnight rain
Blinded by the light
Thinking about those things you told me
Late last night
Words keep running round in my mind
All the anger in your eyes
The way you told me we were over
The way you cried
Oh I drove through the night
The rain just kept beating down
The first sign of morning
I stopped in this strange little town
Somewhere in the night
The answer's escaping me now
Somewhere in the night
It's hiding in the shadows
Somewhere in the night
The answer is waiting for me
And I won't see
Until the morning light
Found a place to drink some coffee
Sat staring at the phone
Kept thinking of the way I left you
So all alone
Remembered all the things we've been through
So I got the phone and dialed
I'd give up every thing I had
If I could see you smile
Oh it rang and it rang
So nervous I started to shake
You picked up and answered
So lonely I felt my heart break
(The following chorus and verse is printed on the liner
notes with the CD, but it was left out of the final cut
of the song)
Somewhere in the night
The answer's escaping me now
Somewhere in the night
It's hiding in the shadows
Somewhere in the night
The answer is waiting for me
And I won't see
Until the morning light
Oh the rain's so hypnotic
It just keeps on pouring down
And in its fascination
I can see myself turning around
(End of extra verse)
Somewhere in the night
The answer's escaping me now
Somewhere in the night
It's hiding in the shadows
'Till darkness lifts its veil
Until I see your face
Until the morning light
Until I see your face
