I need you here beside me to chase the night away I need your love to guide me safe through another day I lie and watch the lights go down Say goodnight to another town And though it hurts to be alone I have my thoughts of you to keep me warm In the afterglow of your love Dreamings all I'm guilty of Everyday I'm playing tough But read my mind If you could see me now Just living my life in a limbo If you could see me now The me that only you would know Still burning in the afterglow When the beat of the drum has faded The show comes to an and The stage is clear and loaded And the highway calls again I stand and watch the lights go down In the afterglow of your love Dreamings all I'm guilty of Everyday I'm playing tough But read my mind If you could see me now Just living my life in a limbo If you could see me now The me that only you would know Still burning in the afterglow Stay with me right to the end Till I can hold you again
