CHORUS: Oh the midnight, need a searchlight. Oh the midnight, need a searchlight. I walk along the rocky shore, the place I lost myself; I search the water, look in the sky, I hear the cries for help. I trace my footsteps down to the sea, but then the path disappears; Here in the darkness, I'm runnin' blind, Been stumblin' for all of these years. CHORUS What was the demon that made me run, can I ever hope to understand? I hear my voice, echoes on the wind; I try to reach out with my hand. Without a light, I might be here forever, lost for all eternity; There in the darkness, slippin' through my fingers, The face that smiles back is me. CHORUS CHORUS CHORUS
