Somewhere in the Night - Tommy Shaw

Driving through the midnight rain

Blinded by the light

Thinking about those things you told me Late last night

Words keep running round in my mind

All the anger in your eyes

The way you told me we were over

The way you cried

Oh I drove through the night

The rain just kept beating down

The first sign of morning

I stopped in this strange little town

Somewhere in the night

The answer’s escaping me now

Somewhere in the night

It’s hiding in the shadows

Somewhere in the night

The answer is waiting for me And I won’t see

Until the morning light

Found a place to drink some coffee

Sat staring at the phone

Kept thinking of the way I left you

So all alone

Remembered all the things we’ve been through

So I got the phone and dialed

I’d give up every thing I had

If I could see you smile

Oh it rang and it rang

So nervous I started to shake

You picked up and answered

So lonely I felt my heart break

(The following chorus and verse is printed on the liner notes with the CD,

but it was left out of the final cut of the song)

Somewhere in the night

The answer’s escaping me now

Somewhere in the night

It’s hiding in the shadows

Somewhere in the night

The answer is waiting for me And I won’t see

Until the morning light

Oh the rain’s so hypnotic

It just keeps on pouring down

And in its fascination

I can see myself turning around

(End of extra verse)

Somewhere in the night

The answer’s escaping me now

Somewhere in the night

It’s hiding in the shadows

'Till darkness lifts its veil

Until I see your face

Until the morning light

Until I see your face
