Heaven Tonight Lyrics

Could I be much more than a stranger?
But for now in the shadows I'll stand
My thoughts only hasten the danger
But you'll listen and you'll know me damn well
These streets have known my name
For twenty years maybe more
So I should hang my head in shame
But I won't hide no more

Could be heaven tonight
Could be heaven tonight
See my face in the cold daylight
And reach for heaven

If you see my face in dark doorways
You run and you never look back
'Cos I am no more than a footstep behind you
I'm born of man but I'm devil by design
To those who made me
I'm not what I should have been
Oh, mother, father
Am I what you had in mind?

Could be heaven tonight
Could be heaven tonight
See my face in the cold daylight
And reach for heaven

My voice singled out in the darkness
Should be one conversation to hear
When it hurts
Will you have the grace to close your eyes?
As you scream 'is there anybody out there?'
No good will come of this
So put your head in the sand
Bring out the hangman
And was my life from your hands

Could be heaven tonight
Could be heaven tonight
See my face in the cold daylight
And reach for heaven

Is there anybody out there?
