Jack Bruce - Reach For The Night lyrics

I used to be somebody in the general scheme of things I built myself a folly cause it looked like it had wings Then I started to run from myself I became someone else I was running straight to hell I said, you gotta help me now, it's getting kinda strange I can't go on, somehow I've got to change Whenever I reach for the night You know it just ain't right Cos it's a pretty scary sound To hear your future running down I thought I was a mirror Looking down from a golden wall Thought I was a k**er, didn't know nothing at all I started to live in the dark I lost sight of the spark Then I was out of the ballpark I said, you gotta help me now It's getting kinda weird I can't go on somehow, I've got this fear Now whenever I reach for the night I know it just ain't right Cos it's a pretty scary sound To hear your future leaving town….. I heard the answer from deep in my soul You've got to warm up, keep out of the cold I heard the answer from inside my head You got so many miles, can't just end up dead Get rollin instead… Now my train can still sing along those silver rails I'm wearing love's ring and my heart is out of jail The shadows scare no more I've come through tomorrow's door Cause today's a whole lot more I said, you've gotta take a chance Don't make no delays You gotta join the dance, and make sure you stay Then whenever you reach for the night It just won't feel right You got so many miles Get rollin instead
