One night, you’ll stand again in the spotlight And everything will be alright And you’ll wake up from this dark night of the soul.
You started out in rock ‘n’ roll You had music deep in your soul Now you don’t cut it like you used to do Looks like time has caught up on you.
You’ve given up, you’ve settled down No more riding on the money-go-round A quiet life and a room with a view Looks like time’s caught up on you.
Holes in your pockets, holes in your shoes Holes in your day dreams that never came true So many years but so little to show Nobody told you -- you reap what you sow.
The way you talk -- makes me sad I still remember all the good times we had Right now you’re twisted and bitter and blue Looks like time’s caught up on you.
How many times did I hear you say Forget tomorrow -- just live for today You’ve burned some bridges, yeah -- that much is true Looks like time’s caught up on you.
You’ve got some demons still driving you on They wonder where all the good times have gone Nobody calls you, now nobody dares Nobody wants to ‘cos nobody cares.
Another night, another place Another limbo where you’ve fallen from grace No, you don’t cut it like you used to do Looks like time’s caught up on you.
It’s caught up on you It’s caught up on you It’s caught up on you It’s caught up on you
One night -- you’ll stand again in the spotlight And everything will be all right And you’ll wake up from this dark night of the soul.
One night -- you’ll spread your wings and you’ll take flight And everything will be all right And you’ll wake up from this dark night of the soul.
One night -- you’ll stand again in the spotlight And everything will be all right And you’ll wake up from this dark night of the soul.
