So now it’s getting late, for those who hesitate, got no one,
But they don’t understand and no one hears the sound,
It’s like a waterfall, it’s an illusion.

Chorus
Love is all, waterfall, love is what you are,
Pulls you in, takes you down, it’s a sad affair,
But you know as you hold back the power there without the friends
And lovers you could never go on living.

Across the waterfall that’s falling evermore down on you,
Cascading through the days, and flowing on it’s way,
That’s how it has to be, just an illusion.

Chorus repeat

You made a fool of me, but them broken dreams have got to end

Hey woman, you got the blues, 'cause you ain't got no one else to use
There's an open road that leads nowhere, so just make some miles between
here and there
There's a hole in my head where the rain comes in
You took my body and played to win
Ha, ha, woman, it's a cryin' shame
But you ain't got nobody else to blame

CORUS
Evil woman, evil woman, evil woman, evil woman

Rolled in from another town
Hit some gold, too hot to settle down
But a fool and his money soon go separate ways
And you found a fool lyin' in a daze
Ha, ha, woman, what you gonna do
You destroyed all the virtues that the Lord gave you
It's so good that you're feelin' pain
But you better get your face on board the very next train

CHORUS

Evil woman, how you done me wrong
But now you're tryin' to wail a different song
Ha, ha, funny how you broke me up, you made the wine, now you drink a cup
I came runnin' every time you cried
Thought I saw love smilin' in your eyes
Ha, ha, very nice to know that you ain't got no place left to go

CHORUS

I remember somewhere in the rain,
The faces of the passers-by,
Staring faces broken blinds,
I recall the situation clearly standing in a crowded car,
I can feel the need in me.

CHORUS:
Hold on, nightrider baby,
Hold on you're a nightrider,
Riding the night, searching for what is gone,
Never reaching the end, so you must travel on.

I still see that vision of delight,
While cruising on the black of night,
But she keeps a step ahead,
Looking out the corner of her world,
Nobody ever knows a girl, who once lived along this way.

CHORUS: Repeat

Desolation degradation row,
Don't let the feeling show,
She's a ten a penny dream,
Faces with no name and no address,
Keep staring in on my distress, but she kills me with her smile.

CHORUS : Repeat

Away, the jokers's closing in,
Reform and they will win,
The light is fading fast.
I know, you know, they know, we all know,
Everybody's gonna burn down.

The girls come crawling on all fours,
Banging on locked doors,
High cards call the tune.
I know, you know, they know, we all know,
Everybody's gonna burn down.

Play me another hand,
Loose everything I am,
Until we meet again.

The ace, that's hiding up your sleeve,
Will cause the world to grieve,
The love you had is gone,
I know you know, they know, we all know.

The dream, in every player's heart,
To win it all not part,
They lie awake at night,
I know, you know, they know, we all know.

The game, where gamblers rule the night,
And get your blood they might,
The joker's closin' in,
I know, you know, they know, we all know.

You're sailing softly
Through the sun in a broken stone age dawn
You fly, so high, I get a

Chorus
Strange magic, oh what a strange magic
Oh it's a strange magic, got a strange magic,
Got a strange magic.

You're walking meadows in my mind,
Making waves across my time,
Oh no, oh no, I get a

Repeat Chorus

Oh I'm never gonna be the same again
Now I've seen the way it's got to end,
Sweet Dream, Sweet Dream

Repeat Chorus
