Alone Tonight

Slipping sideways silver stars collide And fade away just like our love that died And there is nowhere in this universe to hide From you tonight I've wrestled with angels all my life It's always the haloes and the wings That keep you blind And if I'd fought with all the strength I held inside I wouldn't be out here Alone tonight I wouldn't be standing alone tonight I wouldn't be standing alone tonight I wouldn't be standing alone tonight I wouldn't be standing alone tonight Alone tonight just like the western star I'm sinking The angels curse me blind with Straight and crooked thinking Alone tonight just like the western star I'm sinking The angels curse me blind with Straight and crooked thinking I've been crossing out the words I left unsaid From the epilogue left lying in my head Where there is poetry and tragedy unread Until tonight There's no other angel quite like you They broke the mould a thousand pieces icy blue And though I tried to realign them like I do You went your own way And I did too So here I am Alone tonight just like the western star I'm sinking The angels curse me blind with Straight and crooked thinking Alone tonight just like the western star I'm sinking The angels curse me blind with Straight and crooked thinking
