Tears In the Rain

Someone in the doorway Barced against the cold Red brick against his back He thought he'd been so bold With bitterness inside him He recalled her face and name She told him that she loved him He told her the same And walked away Still her face before him His guitar began to play The band rocked on behind him The crowd begun to sway His album climbed the charts Like a bullet from a gun Fans numbered in the thousends And he was number one Dreamer dreaming dreams of youth Dreams of days gone by Dreams are spun by liars Who won't release the lie Don't you know ... there's Murder in money, prison in fame Danger in love, and tears in the rain He stood in a silhuette At last he wore the crown Desire of a lifetime On stage in his home town And in the street outside Was a long-forgotten face Praying for the dreamer She wept for boy's mistakes And as he left the theathre In his limousine He saw her in an instant Felt the breath of their lost dreams But rock'n'roll was calling The spotlight never waits A crying girl and her God Watched him move on to his fate
