Clouds roll by as I look to the sky And then the feeling comes, it comes on again You know desire burns like a fire, fire of sin Oh, will I ever learn You're the only one I could call my own But then the shadows fall and I'm gone again I'm a hunter Searching for love On these lonely streets again I'm the hunter Searching for things That I might never find again Care for you, you know that I always will I know it's hard for you, my taste for the kill But then it calls to me when the moon rises full in the sky You know it's not denied Will I ever find love and peace of mind On these streets again, will it ever end I'm a hunter Searching for love On these lonely streets again I'm the hunter Searching for things That I might never find again You know desire burns like a fire, fire within I guess I'll never learn You're the only one I could call my own But when the shadows fall, you know I won't be home I'm a hunter Searching for love On these lonely streets again I'm the hunter Searching for the things That I might never find again I'm a hunter Searching for love I'm the hunter Searching for the things That I might never find again.
