I Wake Up Every Night

(album: Conflicting Emotions - 1983)

You arrive at the station, right on time
Catch a train to the city, metro line
Meet your friends at the corner for a drink
Maybe find a girl who can give you everything
All aboard, let's go travelling, up we go
You never know what you got `til you start letting go

I wake up every night, dress up and travel light
Without a worry on my mind
I wake up every night, go out and look for life
You never know just what you'll find, I wake up every night

Every day taken over by detail
Come the night I'm a free man, off the rails
There's emotional baggage in my head
Heavy dreams weigh me down like lumps of lead
I wanna liberate myself from all these things
You never know what you got til you stop worrying

I wake up every night, the stars are shining bright
There's magic in the evening air
Another day is done, go out and have some fun
Endeavour to be near someone, I wake up every night
I wake up every night

I'll follow my dreams tonight, as we go voodoo dancing,
Mood romancing
You wake up and feel alright and you can hold the shadows, hold the shadows

I wake up every night, I wake up every now and then
I wake up every night, I wake up every now and then
I wake up every night, the stars are shining bright
There's magic in the evening air
I wake up every night, my stomach muscles tight
Excited feelings everywhere
I wake up every night...
