Going back to the beginning We were only seventeen I thought that we would last forever But I was just too young to see
You took our love into your sunset And left me dealing with the pain When I think of you it brings a feeling I can still remember I was crying in the rain
It was the first time Feeling lost and blind And the story's never ending Someone's heart in need of mending
Now I stand on the dark road Feeling so cold And I dream of a place For tomorrow without sorrow Where my heart is never blue
The day goes on And soon the lights grow dim And my neon city shines the night I wonder what waits up ahead for me - Yeah! I still try to find the signs
I have learned to be the lonely And I'm not the only one - No! I found my own way of reason And some kind of peace of mind
Oh! I remember the first time I was lost and blind And the story's never ending - Yeah! It was the first time If you ask me how I know My rock and roll All my life I gave my heart And my soul
Here I stand at the threshold Feeling so old And I long for a place without sorrow A new tomorrow For the world to see Deep inside me a black light Feel my soul night As I sing to you There's no time for us to borrow Death will swallow It's the melody of destiny
Oh! So I stand on the dark road Feeling so cold And I dream of a place For tomorrow without sorrow Where my heart is never blue Oh! - Yeah! Deep inside me a black night Feel my soul night When I sing my song to you - Hey! In my time I gave you thunder And now I'm going under I am going under
