They are the victims of the night
Ride against the wind born to lose the fight
They fill the doorways they come far
Holding what they bring details on a card
Someone shuts the door goodbye on their lips

There is no charity from where they come
There's nothing left to be
In stark reality thy will be done
For you for them for me

How far Jerusalem before the heart breaks down
No kings among them cold feet in London town
How far Jerusalem oh broken hearted clown
We stand among them cold feet in London town

They are in search of Liberty's trail
Equal in their eyes faces drawn and pale
So many hearts have gone before
Probably ignored crashing to the floor
They are the victims of the night
Ride against the wind born to lost the fight

We talk endlessly don't get anywhere
Born in reality cradled in care
If you needed me or mistreated me
Won't you still be there

And those lonely nights when you find it hard
Losing your appetite breaking apart
If you needed me or mistreated me
Don't break my heart

It goes deep my love only for you
Just like an arrow
It goes deep my love only for you
Just like an arrow
Just like an arrow
Straight through your heart

We talk endlessly don't get anywhere
Born in reality cradled in care
If you needed me or mistreated me
Won't you still be there
Please be there

And those lonely nights when you find it hard
Losing your appetite breaking apart
If you needed me or mistreated me
Don't break my heart
Don't you break it

It goes deep my love only for you
Just like an arrow
It goes deep my love only for you
Just like an arrow
Oh, just like an arrow
It goes deep my love only for you
Just like an arrow
It goes deep my love only for you
Just like an arrow
Oh, just like an arrow
Straight through your heart

There's a stormlamp on the table
Throwing shadows to the gable
And you swallow if your able
On a storyteller's night

From the poorhouse chimes indifferent
Seven towers seven sisters
Every blackheart walks the distance
On a storyteller's night

Try to sleep on your pillow and dream
Sleep in God's children to keep
Though we all lose track of time
Disappears like faded lines

Keep your night light burning
I'll come through the wind and rain
Keep your night light burning
I'll be with you once again

There's a chill wind at your back door
And the fire cracks on the damp floor
You hear footsteps but you're not sure
On a storyteller's night

See the night sky super nova
Chase the cold moon passing over
Start the dragon's fire to smoulder
On a storyteller's night

Every step I take along the way
Every hour of every single day
Your don't listen to a word I say
I stand patiently waiting here

You left a message on the nearest wall
Just the same as the ones before
I don't believe it when you write you'll call
I stand patiently waiting here

I want you here to help me through the night
Want you my dear don't leave before first light
I want you here to help me through the night

Cannons roared in the valley they thundered
While the guns lit up the night
Then it rained and both sides wondered
Who is wrong and who is right

On the wire like a ragged old scarecrow
Bloody hands and broken back
When they fire see him pirouette solo
Jump in time to the rat a tat

What a night though it's one of seven
What a night for the dancing dead
What a night to be called to heaven
What a picture to fill your head

By the wall in a silouette standing
Through a flash of sudden light
Cigarette from his mouth just hanging
Paper square to his heart pinned tight

Gather round reluctant marksmen
One of them to take his life
With a smile he gives them pardon
Leaves the dark and takes the light

They dispatch their precious cargo
Knock him back right off his feet
And they pray may no one follow
Better still to face the beast

When the field has become a garden
And the wall has stood the test
Children play and the dogs run barking
Who would think or who would guess

You're a believer of the wayward call
Heavens above what comes with that
No crystal gazing on an empty shore
Don't dip your eyes don't turn your back

You make no promises when you break their hearts
Your magic power turns them to dust
You're off and running long before it starts
That's what you do to stay untouched

No endless love can't find no endless
No endless love can't find no endless love tonight
No endless love can't find no endless love

I've turned the corner and there's no one there
You've peeled your shadow off the wait
I've crossed the border and so please be aware
I'm never sure of you at all

Send my love on the telephone
No one answer - no one's home
Call after call
I just get nothing at all

Dirty Feelings they can't be right
Try again - for tomorrows night
No luck at all
Has got me walking the floor -
Walking the floor

Good love
Forsaken
Two hearts
On breakin'

Good love
Mistaken
Two hearts
One achin'

I never had a chance
Once I put my eyes on you
Too old to play romance
Said nothing that made sense to you
You took me by surprise
Breaking out is hard that's true
It started from inside
No telling what the heart will do
Steal your heart
And you'll never recover
Steal your heart
You won't look to another
Steal your heart
And you will never recover
You had me from the start
Doesn't matter wrong or right
You can't do the things by half
Tomorrow is another night

Not forsaken
Another heart
They like taken
In foreign parts
Someone breakin'
Another heart
They lie waitin'
In foreign parts
Old England's skies
Turn black and she cries
Wet again
All England's eyes
Turn black and they cry
Yet again
Standing over
Another heart
Winds blow colder
In foreign parts
And the nameless
The sacred heart
Come to claim us
From foreign parts

The last dance might be your last chance
Over your shoulder you turn and you glance
They walk past still no one has asked
Feeling much older the evening has crashed
Don't surrender don't you cry
Another lonely night you've had enough
Another lonely night is one too much
Another lonely night might just give up
The last dance you hide your empty hands
No one comes near you
the noise of the band
You can't talk so you get up and walk
All that you've been though
it's not like you thought
