This man's alone
The crowds have all gone home
There is no sound
Alone after all the years that I have known
I'm still walking a long, hard road
I'm still miles and miles from home
I see and feel
But I can't escape the tension that exists
That leaves the man emotionally stripped
I'm still hoping for release
I'm still fighting to be free
I'm still fighting to be free
Only love could break through the sadness
All I know that love can heal
Only love can lift the darkness
Shining through in the cold light of day
To set me free
In the cold light of day
(I'm dying now)
I know somewhere
Deep down in this world
There is some peace
I've known it in a kiss
Sometimes in sleep
I'm still hoping for release
I'm still fighting to be free
I'm still fighting to be free
Only love could break through the sadness
All I know that love can heal
Only love can lift the darkness
Shining through in the cold light of day
To set me free
In the cold light of day
I been christened with Holy Water
I have dined with the devil's daughter
I've been written off
I have returned
I've put my hand in the fire and been burned
But only love, only love, only love, only love
Only love could break through the sadness
All I know that love can heal
Only love can lift the darkness
Shining through in the cold light of day
To set me free
In the cold light of day
Hey now
Only love can break this sadness
Only love can set me free
Only love can lift the darkness
Shine through in the cold light of day
Only love
Only love
Only love can lift the darkness
Shining through in the cold light of day
Only love
