ELO, Lyrics:
Nightrider.
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:
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 and no adress, keep staring in on my distress,
but she kills me with her smile.
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.
