I'm singing songs nearly every night
But I don't know who's listening
'Cause you're down in the dark
And I'm up here in light
And only now and then I see a face of you
But what's going on behind your face
Why did you come to this place
Is it really music, or is it something else
Sometimes I can read it from your eyes
'Cause sometimes, when you're with me
I can feel reflections of your souls
Then I'm with you and I know
All I'm doing is just feeling so good
And when the show is over
I'm like everyone
I pack up my guitar
And maybe I'm satisfied with what I've done
Hmm, it's not easy all the time
When you're standing on your side and I'm on mine
Maybe you want me to act like a star
But just this night I've got a completely empty heart
Lost is every word in my song
When you see my bowed head and you think my place is wrong
'Cause though you're strong and sometimes wise
You're getting angry when your clown is crying, yeah, yeah, yeah
I know, that we all need a push to live on
But you have to live your life and I live it in my song
And if you need somebody to help
So, don't look at me
'Cause I need help myself, yeah
And when the show is over
I'm like everyone
I pack up my guitar
And maybe I'm satisfied with what I've done
