lyrics

They're here every night
Those orphans in the street lights howling,
"There's nobody on our side anymore,"
I'm sitting at my bedside
There's nobody inside
But I know I'm living alright
Loving you

Caught under a landslide
I get pinned down by the weight just like anyone
We all get lost in the dark
I'm not a special case
But I imagine your face
In my mind's eye I see you smiling
And I know I'm living alright
Loving you

I feel the change in the seasons
I feel the rain and the temperatures dropping
I see the leaves that have fallen
But I'm not falling down
I'm not feeling down

I hope heaven treats you alright
I won't lie
I sure can miss you, darling
And so called friends tell me i should be moving on
I often feel like a stranger
To myself and to my old habits
Still I know I'm living alright
Loving you

I rolled around in the thunder
And surfed the wave that tried to pull me under
Between the rocks and the storm
Between the devil and the deep blue sea
I'm here
Loving you
