One night, youâll stand again in the spotlight
And everything will be alright
And youâll wake up from this dark night of the soul.
You started out in rock ânâ roll
You had music deep in your soul
Now you donât cut it like you used to do
Looks like time has caught up on you.
Youâve given up, youâve settled down
No more riding on the money-go-round
A quiet life and a room with a view
Looks like timeâs 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 youâre twisted and bitter and blue
Looks like timeâs caught up on you.
How many times did I hear you say
Forget tomorrow -- just live for today
Youâve burned some bridges, yeah -- that much is true
Looks like timeâs caught up on you.
Youâve 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 âcos nobody cares.
Another night, another place
Another limbo where youâve fallen from grace
No, you donât cut it like you used to do
Looks like timeâs caught up on you.
Itâs caught up on you
Itâs caught up on you
Itâs caught up on you
Itâs caught up on you
One night -- youâll stand again in the spotlight
And everything will be all right
And youâll wake up from this dark night of the soul.
One night -- youâll spread your wings and youâll take flight
And everything will be all right
And youâll wake up from this dark night of the soul.
One night -- youâll stand again in the spotlight
And everything will be all right
And youâll wake up from this dark night of the soul.
