Night Ride

At night I ride
Through the lonely, empty streets
Time's on my side
'Cause I'm living in a dream
The wind in my face
The years like a weight
Just pulling on me

I see her there
Down on 42nd Street
She doesn't care
Won't believe that this is me
She's walking along
Writing a song she'll forget someday
But everything's bright
And so full of light
The future unpaved

Who will I be
When I wake up in the morning?
What will I see
When the sun rises overhead?

I pass the square
Where sometimes they would meet
When hope was there
Before she'd beg and plead
A moment in time
Before it unwinds in tragedy
But that look in his eyes
Is such a surprise
She can't let it be

Who will he be
When I wake up in the morning?
What will I see
When the sun rises overhead?

Crossing the bridge as it burns at my feet
Racing the flames and the heat
She is on fire and she'll force me to see
I am the ashes she seeks

Who will I be
When I wake up in the morning?
What will I see
When the sun rises overhead?

I look for answers in the streets
I ask the ghosts that dwell in me
But maybe I should let them be and watch the road
Only see the road ahead of me
