Lyrics
Alone in the Night
Words and Music by Jeff Hayes © 2003
(I see this as sung by a female vocalist with a strong range, harmonizing with herself. The vocal parts in this demo are performed by the flutes.)
She is walking, alone in the night...
She's so funny, pretending she's right...
Yet there's a whisper of doubt telling her she is wrong...
She is living everyone?s dream
Counting money until she could scream...
And all the time, deep inside, she cries warm bitter tears...
And she continues, day after day
Second person, on stage in a play
Starring an echo of pain telling her she's alone...
And she wonders, where can she turn...
Where will she go, when will she learn...
Then she tells all of her friends she is fine, but she lies...
There were games she played to impress her friends
But the need to win seemed to never end...
And the only thing she won was an empty heart...
And it doesn't seem fair...
Her tomorrow's gone...
All she has are memories
Of an ugly song...
And now she doesn't care at all...
All she knows or feels is pain...
All the dreams she used to have
Are only teardrops in the rain...
She's so busy chasing it all
She can't hear her destiny call...
There's a deepening doubt, like a cloud, in her eyes...
No idea where she belongs...
Can't imagine where she went wrong...
Afraid to move on, and deathly afraid to be still...
There were games she played to impress her friends
But the need to win seemed to never end...
And the only thing she won was an empty heart...
And it doesn't seem right...
And it isn't fair...
All her hope is vaporized
In the still night air...
And now she doesn't care at all...
All she knows or feels is pain...
All the dreams she used to have
Are only teardrops in the rain...
She is walking, alone in the night...
She's so funny, thinking she's right...
And she remains, in the end, alone in the night...
