Nowhere to Hide Songtext
von Eric Carmen

Lovers come and lovers go
But it′s never twice the same
Happiness is hard to show
When you're numb to all the pain
And I′ve been floating around
Like an old newspaper
Blowing down some windy street
Feeling so alone and incomplete

But there's nowhere to hide
Where the night can't find me
Where the light of the sun can′t blind me
Like the light in the woman′s eyes
There's nowhere to hide
From the dream that drives me
Like a fire burning deep inside me
Oh, I know she′ll be there tonight


Can the future be foretold
In a faded photograph?
Can a dream be bought and sold?
Well, I guess I'll have to laugh
Sipping on a scotch and soda
A shadow in the corner booth
So philosophically drunk
On grown-up truth

But there′s nowhere to hide
Where the night can't find me
Where the light of the sun can′t blind me
Like the light in the woman's eyes
There's nowhere to hide
From the dream that drives me
Like a fire burning deep inside me
Oh, I know she′ll be there tonight

Half-forgotten fragments of a high school dance
In the dead white hours of winter
When we loved so hard
That we thought it would never end
Trying to remember how it used to feel
When a kiss was something special
And I wonder now, will it ever be again?


But there′s nowhere to hide
Where the night can't find me
Where the light of the sun can′t blind me
Like the light in the woman's eyes
There′s nowhere to hide
From the dream that drives me
Like a fire burning deep inside me
Oh, I know she'll be there tonight

Lovers come and lovers go
But it′s never twice the same
Happiness is hard to show
When you're numb to all the pain
And I've been floating around
Like an old newspaper
Blowing down some windy street
Feeling so alone and incomplete

But there′s nowhere to hide
Where the night can′t find me
Where the light of the sun can't blind me
Like the light in the woman′s eyes
There's nowhere to hide
From the dream that drives me
Like a fire burning deep inside me
Oh, I know she′ll be there tonight

Yes, I know she'll be there tonight
