Searchlight

Oh the midnight, need a searchlight

I walk along the rocky shore, the place I lost myself

I search the water, look in the sky, I hear the cries for help

I trace my footsteps down to the sea but then the path disappears

Here in the darkness, I'm runnin' blind

Been stumblin' for all of these years

Oh the midnight, need a searchlight

What was the demon that made me run, can I ever hope to understand?

I hear my voice, echoes on the wind, I try to reach out with my hand

Without a light, I might be here forever, lost for all eternity

There in the darkness, slippin' through my fingers

The face that smiles back in me

Oh the midnight, need a searchlight
