Out on the street I was talkin' to a man.
He said "there's so much of this life of mine that I don't understand."
You shouldn't worry I said, that ain't no crime.
'Cause if you get it wrong you'll get it right next time, next time.
Well I don't know why I came here tonight.
I got the feeling that something ain't right.
I'm so scared in case I fall off my chair,
And I'm wondering how I'll get down the stairs.
Clowns to the left of me,
Jokers to the right, here I am,
Stuck in the middle with you.
You still got that light in your eye,
And our day is comin’ by and by.
I’m travellin’ this long road here with you;
We still gotta long way, we still gotta long way to go.
Windin' your way down on Baker Street,
Light in your head and dead on your feet.
Well another crazy day,
You'll drink the night away
And forget about everything.
This city desert makes you feel so cold.
It's got so many people, but it's got no soul.
And it's taking you so long
To find out you were wrong,
When you thought it had everything.
But you know he'll always keep movin';
You know he's never gonna stop movin.
Cus he's rollin',
He's the rollin' stone.
You know I need your love, you got that hold over me.
As long as I got your love, you know that I'll never leave.
When I wanted you to share my life, I had no doubt in my mind.
And it's been you, woman, right down the line.
Night comes down and finds you alone
In a space and time of your own,
Lost in dreams in a world full of shadows.
