Searchlight

(album: Centerfield - 1985)

[CHORUS:]
Oh the midnight, need a searchlight.
Oh the midnight, need a searchlight.

I walk along the rocky shore, the place I lost myself;
I search the water, look in the sky, I hear the cries for help.
I trace my footsteps down to the sea, but then the path disappears;
Here in the darkness, I'm running blind,
Been stumbling for all of these years.

[CHORUS]

What was the demon that made me run, can I ever hope to understand?
I hear my voice, echoes on the wind; I try to reach out with my hand.
Without a light, I might be here forever, lost for all eternity;
There in the darkness, slipping through my fingers,
The face that smiles back is me.

[CHORUS]
[CHORUS]
