The Thing
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
The lonely nights of winter
Are movin' in again
No more sleeping easy
No more time for friends
You can hear the wind howling
It brings a loneliness within
And if I ever leave here
I ain't never coming back again
Never coming back again
Never coming back again
Mysteries surround us
You know it ain't always just like it seems
Although my days are numbered
Got to move along
And all I want to know
Is I'm never coming back again
Never coming back again
Never coming back again
Never, never, never, coming back
Never coming back again, no
Ooh yeah
Allright
Can you hear the sound of thunder?
You can see where the lightning strikes
Who'll come looking for me
Will anybody brave the night
Although the wind is screaming
There's a danger in my heart
And although I've friends around me
We ain't never gonna apart
Oh I'm running out of time
And the memories are yours and not mine
Oh I'm running out of time
Now desperation shoots us down the line
Down the line, oh yeah
Well, now I had my share of bad times
You know I've been there once or twice
And when love deals
It's with hand that's cold as ice
Crazy hard luck stories
You know I've heard them all before
Cryin' out in the darkness
But I'll even up the score
Oh I'm running out of time
And the memories are yours and not mine
Oh I'm running out of time
Now desperation shoots us down the line
Never coming back again
Oh I'm running out of time
And the memories are yours and not mine, not mine
Oh I'm running out of time
Now desperation shoots us down the line
Ooh down the line, oh yeah
