One Thousand Nights - High Spirits

One night, no limits

Got what it takes to win

One shot from a golden rifle

Then I’m going in

One key, one coward

Up to the top of the tower

To my surprise it was empty

Nothing there at all

Still I ran like a wicked man

Down through the backstreets, yeah

Bad step, wrong rhythm

Not what it seemed to be

Bad luck and pure excitement

Make my getaway

Don’t stop, keep running

Somebody knew I was coming

Nowhere to hide, this was trouble

Fate was closing in

Put up my hands like a guilty man

And I told them, I said

Just take me in

One thousand nights I wait

Left out and locked away

One thousand nights for my mistake

One thousand nights from home

Because I should have known

One thousand nights I spend alone

Now there’s nothing I can do

All the things they said are true

I did it all for you

And I would do it again

One night, no limits

Now I’m in chains again

Don’t cry, it’s not forever

Can’t keep me away

When you see the sun start setting

One of these nights, I will find you

Find you safe again

And lay my head where no one can

So when I see you I’ll say

Just take me in

One thousand nights I wait

Left out and locked away

One thousand nights for my mistake

One thousand nights from home

Because I should have known

One thousand nights I spend alone
