The street light crawls into a bare bulb hotel Where dead eyes shine there’s a story to tell It’s a life of crime on a bed of stone When the devil calls you’re better off alone
[Chorus:] And now I’m hiding from the light, running from my destiny Haunted by a flame, lying low, livin’ on a memory
The bugs still bite and the breezes blow Between your dreams right through your clothes The days roll by like cars on a train And the August sky still looks like rain
[Chorus]
Haunted by a dream, I can’t escape this reverie Trying to break away, lying low, livin’ on a memory
I’ll be walking behind you, I’m a face on the wind I’ll be watchin’, still payin’ for my sins
I’m drifting down the river so slow As the lights of town are beginning to glow
[Chorus]
Haunted by a dream, I can’t escape from this reverie Trying to break away, lying low, livin’ on a memory…
