I'm sitting here inside the strangest place
And Time is racing by
I've been way out here for a month or more
Tonight I'm wondering why
You try to understand the things that I feel
Maybe this time I'll find a way to explain it
And there was a dream deep inside my head
It only seemed like it's breaking the thread
That holds me to you
Still you have never wanted to change me
But darlin I know
Thou we're far apart the signal is strong
This helpless heart will always belong to you
Only to you no one but you
This power takes me from the place I belong
To where only the strong get through
You've got to keep on believing or you'll lose your way
It slips right out on you
Though there are days the light can flicker or fade
Here in this place tonight a fire is burning
Cause there was a dream
Deep inside my head
It only seemed like it's breaking the thread
That holds me to you
Still you have never wanted to change me
But darlin I know
Thou we're far apart the signal is strong
This helpless heart will always belong to you
Only to you no one but you
