Face To Face With The Night

(álbum: Tonight We Ride - 1986)

You know you never can out-race
All the mistakes that you've left scattered
They'll blow back in your face
Until the teardrops string your eyes
The worst mistake I ever made
Was thinking that it didn't matter
That I could let the memories fade
And cover up my alibis

Now it's no use to pretend
To try to lose myself in small talk
I just can't go back in
To the laughter and the light
Tonight there's something in the wind
That makes me want to hit the sidewalk
And go face-to-face with the night

Try to hide out in the crowd
While that old jukebox keeps on moaning
But it don't matter just how loud
It can't drown out every sound
Mistakes down in my mind
Confessions that I've been postponing
Hearts I've broken and let down
I've got to face them all sometime
