I need you here beside me to chase the night away 
I need your love to guide me safe through another day 
I lie and watch the lights go down 
Say goodnight to another town 
And though it hurts to be alone 
I have my thoughts of you to keep me warm 

In the afterglow of your love 
Dreamings all I'm guilty of 
Everyday I'm playing tough 
But read my mind 

If you could see me now 
Just living my life in a limbo 
If you could see me now 
The me that only you would know 
Still burning in the afterglow 

When the beat of the drum has faded 
The show comes to an and 
The stage is clear and loaded 
And the highway calls again 
I stand and watch the lights go down 

In the afterglow of your love 
Dreamings all I'm guilty of 
Everyday I'm playing tough 
But read my mind 

If you could see me now 
Just living my life in a limbo 
If you could see me now 
The me that only you would know 
Still burning in the afterglow 

Stay with me right to the end 
Till I can hold you again
