"Are You Awake Tonight?" lyrics

Staring across this city on a rainy night
Well, I've taken on a path that I can't right
Howling at your window like a wounded dog
Yeah I'm flying high upon the wings of love

Smiling as the wrecking ball comes to make her change
Well, I'm blinded by the light behind the rain
The roses in the rubble change their colours in the light
Now we're both stumbling through the shadows of the night

And I say are you awake tonight?
And you say are you awake tonight?

Seems like all my ambition has arrived too late
I left far too much up to the hands of fate
Now I'm singing for my supper as the lions roar
Or just waiting for your light upon my door

Well, you're all I ever wanted but was afraid to ask
Now my present's just the shadow of the past
Praying for deliverance, trying to find my voice
Would I have chosen different if I'd had the choice?

And I say are you awake tonight?
And you say are you awake tonight?
And I say are you awake tonight?

And I say are you awake tonight?
And you say are you awake tonight?
And I say are you awake tonight?
