THE LION
Adrian Smith


Late at night, rain falling down
Sets my mind wandering
Took a drive on a highway
I saw you standing in the rain
Destiny was calling me
I would never be the same

You said,
You said your heart was aching,
You were sad

I saw you cry,
The night you lied to me,
Oh no!

You took my hand,
Then faded with the light
 
They said you died out
On the road that night
 
I’m in cold, cold sweat
Knuckles white upon the wheel
Danger flies on silent wings
I can’t fight and I can’t feel
Now I’m standing in the daylight
And it seems just like a dream
If only I could touch you girl
But you’re not there for real!
