Nightrider

[Verse 1: Jeff Lynne]

I remember somewhere in the rain

The faces of the passers-by

Staring faces broken blinds

I recall the situation clear

Standing in a crowded car

I can feel the need in me

[Chorus: both]

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

[Verse 2: Jeff Lynne, Kelly Groucutt]

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: both]

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

[Verse 3: Jeff Lynne]

Desolation degradation row

Go on; 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: both]

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
