The last train has long gone and the station gates are closed
The beating rain marks the pavement stone and a merciless wind blows
Long after the midnight bell
When the murky night is as dark as hell
This side of town should be left alone as everyone here knows.

In a dark alley, under a dim street light, is where you may see me stand
A silhouette bereft of life, the mere shadow of a man
Silent watcher of life’s twisted ways
I’ve seen it all on this street I pace
A pair of eyes without a face is who I really am.

The wind cries and the earth groans as the people scream for bread
And driven by a hunger to own was the greedy life I lead
Let me tell you how you shrivel inside
When you indulge this kind of appetite
My heart starved till it turned to stone in a body too well fed.

I see every little secret with a sleepless pair of eyes
You will not see me but our eyes will meet
Hear every little truth become twisted into lies
If for too long you linger on this street
See every night reveal what the bright day denies

Let me tell you when you life is done
The devil takes everything you own
You’ve wasted all your time
Gratifying your desires

I see by night what you ignore by day
That the human heart is made of clay
A lump of mud and slime
Hardened in hell’s fire

I see every little secret with a sleepless pair of eyes
You never feel that you’re alone here
Hear every little truth become twisted into lies
You cannot see me but I’m always near
See every night reveal what the bright day denies

You think you rise but one day you will fall
You tell your lies but truth will take its toll
There’s nothing you can own at all
If you’ve already sold your soul
See every little secret with a sleepless pair of eyes…
Hear every little truth become twisted into lies….

And the light still calls you but the darkness holds you
And the night enthrals you but your eyes still show you

I’m looking for a trace
I’m looking for a face
I’m looking for a light
A glimmer in the night
I’m still looking for the sun
That ever on will burn
Like imperishable gold
In a pure and simple soul
The still pulse of the earth
That thrusts in every birth
And moves in every tide
And touches every life
I’m looking for a sign
I’m looking for a time
The end may be in sight
But I’m looking for a light
I’m looking for a light…

And the light still calls you but the darkness holds you
And the night enthrals you but your eyes still show you…
