Jim Steinman
American songwriter and composer.
I have travelled across the universe through the years to find her. Sometimes going all the way is just a start...
The sea is whipping the sky
The sky is whipping the sea
You can hide away forever from the storm
But you'll never hide away from me.
Stop right there!
I gotta know right now!
Before we go any further —
Do you love me?
Will you love me forever?
Oh baby you're the only thing in this whole world
That's pure and good and right
And wherever you are and wherever you go
There's always gonna be some light.
The icy cold will cut us like a knife in the dark
And we may lose everything in the wind
But the Northern Lights are burning
And they're giving off sparks.
I've been called over the top. How silly. If you don't go over the top, you can't see what's on the other side.
Let me show you how to drive me crazy,
Let me show you how to make me feel so good,
Let me show you how to take me to the edge of the stars and back again.
You've gotta show me how to drive you crazy,
You've gotta show me all the things you wanna happen to you,
We've gotta tell each other everything, we always wanted someone to do.
It never felt so good, it never felt so right
And we're glowing like the metal on the edge of a knife.
I know just how to fake it
And I know just how to scheme
I know just when to face the truth
And then I know just when to dream.
And I know just where to touch you
And I know just what to prove
I know when to pull you closer
And I know when to let you loose.
And I know the night is fading
And I know the time's gonna fly
And I'm never gonna tell you everything I gotta tell you
But I know I've got to give it a try.
And I know the roads to riches
And I know the ways to fame
I know all the rules and then I know how to break'em
And then I always know the name of the game
But I don't know how to leave you
And I'll never let you fall
And I don't know how you do it
Making love out of nothing at all.
Baby, baby let me sleep on it
Let me sleep on it
And I'll give you my answer in the morning...
Then I'm dying at the bottom of a pit in the blazing sun
All torn and twisted at the foot of a burning bike
And I think somebody somewhere must be tolling a bell
And the last thing I see is my heart,
Still beating,
Breaking out of my body
And flying away
Like a bat out of Hell.
You can take the darkness from the deep of the night
And turn it to a beacon burning endlessly bright
I gotta follow it 'cause everything I know
Well, it's nothing 'till I give it to you.
For the good of believing in a life after birth
For the good of your body so bright
For the good of the search for some heaven on earth
For the good of one hell of a night, for
the good of one hell of a night.
So now I'm praying for the end of time
To hurry up and arrive
Cause if I gotta spend another minute with you
I don't think that I can really survive.
I'll never break my promise or forget my vow
But God only knows what I can do right now.
I'm praying for the end of time
It's all that I can do
Praying for the end of time, so I can end my time with you!
I'm not even sure he knows who "Meat Loaf" is. He definitely would become the person in the song.
I don't know what to do and I'm always in the dark
We're living in a powder keg and giving off sparks.
I really need you tonight
Forever's gonna start tonight
Forever's gonna start tonight.
Nothing ever grows in this rotten old hole
And everything is stunted and lost
And nothing really rocks and nothing really rolls
And nothing's ever worth the cost.
I never had a girl
Looking any better than you did
And all the kids at school
They were wishing they were me that night.
Though it's cold and lonely in the deep dark night
I can see paradise by the dashboard light.
I'm never gonna make it without you
Do you really wanna see me crawl ?
And I'm never gonna make it like you do
Making love out of nothing at all.
