Alone Tonight

Slipping sideways, silver stars collide

And fade away just like our love that died

And there is nowhere in this universe to hide

From you tonight

I've wrestled with angels all my life

It's always the haloes and the wings

That keep you blind

And if I'd fought with all the strength I held inside

I wouldn't be out here

Alone tonight

I wouldn't be standing alone tonight

Alone tonight, just like the western star I'm sinking

The angels curse me blind with

Straight and crooked thinking

I've been crossing out the words I left unsaid

From the epilogue left lying in my head

Where there is poetry and tragedy unread

Until tonight

There's no other angel quite like you

They broke the mould, a thousand pieces icy blue

And though I tried to realign them - like I do

You went your own way

And I did too

So here I am

Alone tonight, just like the western star I'm sinking

The angels curse me blind with

Straight and crooked thinking
