Nightrider Songtext
von Electric Light Orchestra

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.

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.

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.

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

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.
