Secret dreams rising up in the dead of night
All alone; its a weakness that's hard to break
Another summer fades away like the evening light
Another year, as your confidence starts to shake

Do you someone who will hold you close?
Do you need a friend who won't leave you all by yourself?
Do you need someone you can call your own?
All alone, all alone

The peaceful moon reflects in tears of your solitude
Look around, but there's no one to share the blame

Unwilling loner in an unfeeling multitude
Play the fads, but the face in the mirror won't change

So now you find yourself in places you shouldn't be
In the dark, where the music can hide your sorrow
Sometimes you come so close to finding the love you need
But one more drink, and you're back on that road tomorrow
