Thunder Road Songtext
von Kevin Rowland
Thunder Road Songtext
The screen door slams, Mary′s dress waves
Like a vision she dances across the floor as the radio plays
Roy Orbison singing for the lonely, hey that's me and I want you only
Don′t turn me home again, I just can't face myself alone
Don't run back inside, darling, you know just what I′m here for
′Cause you're scared and you′re thinking
That maybe we're not so young anymore
Have a little faith, there′s magic in the night
This is your beauty at eight, you're alright
Oh, and that′s alright with me
You can hide 'neath your covers and cuddle your pain
Make crosses from your lovers, throw roses in the rain
Waste your summer praying in vain
For a saviour to rise from these streets
Well, I'm not perfect, that′s understood
I′ll tell you something, in you I more or less see good
With a chance to make it real somehow
What else can we do now?
Except roll down the windows and let the wind blow back your hair
Well, your life's bursting open, your beauty can take us anywhere
We′ve got one last chance to make this real
To trade in these wings for what's real
Come on, you are so beautiful
Oh-oh, come take my hand
We′re going out tonight to case up the promised land
Oh-oh, oh thunder road, oh thunder road, oh thunder road
Out there, there's a killer in the sun
Hey, I know it′s late, but we'll make it if we run
Oh-oh, oh thunder road, sit tight tonight, thunder road
Well, I've got this guitar and I′ve learned how to make it sing
And my car′s out back if you're ready to take this long walk
From your front porch to my front seat
The door′s open but the ride's not cheap
Hell, I know you′re lonely for words I've not spoken
Tonight we′ll be free, all promises be broken
There were ghosts in the eyes of all
The put downs that you've received
They haunt you still in the night, but
Now is the time to let them roll away
They scream your name at night in the streets
Congratulations, boy, the world's at your feet
You′ve always been alone, now is the time to let that all go
′Cause I'm here, I′m here, so come over here
It's a time for winners, we′re getting out of here to win
Check
