Well I'd been on the road for 28 days

With the boys from the rock and roll band

And we pulled into town for the very last time

For what they used to call a one night stand

There were laughing girls with all kinds of people

And sunbathers out on the grass

And I was slumped in my seat like a stone with a view

Of the movies they made on the glass

 

And it's on to the hotel and the meaningless lobby faces

There's a phone on your wall

and no-one you can think of to call

You catch up on the day 'till the man comes to say

'It's time to go down to the hall'

 

We went into the back and down to the room

With just 35 minutes to go

And the promoter came in with a smile on his face

And wished us good luck with the show

You can ask yourself all kinds of questions

You can lose a lot of sleep at nights

But in the end you've got to accept what you are

Without thinking of wrongs and rights

 

And it's up on to the stage and the adrenaline starts to flow

It's a strange sort of role

but it's food for your body and soul

And you're never quite so alone as when

You're facing into those lights

 

When I went in slow and I came out fast

With the crowd ringing in my ears

But it just goes to show that whatever you see

A man's heart is never quite how it appears

Well I've heard people say it's all just a game

We play for money or glory

But just then I would have traded it all to be home

With the girl who waits for me

 

And there's a dressing-room scene and a party to say farewell

It's the end of the line

Of an essay in logic and in time

For life's just a scene

Where we move in between

The boundaries of heaven and hell

Light of the Dawn
