Nowhere to Hide - Eric Carmen

Lovers come and lovers go

But it’s never twice the same

Happiness is hard to show

When you’re numb to all the pain

And I’ve been floatin' 'round

Like an old newspaper

Blowin' down some windy street

Feeling so alone and incomplete

But there’s nowhere to hide

Where the night can’t find me

Where the light of the sun can’t blind me

Like the light in a woman’s eyes

There’s nowhere to hide

From the dream that drives me

Like a fire burning deep inside me

Oh, I know she’ll be there tonight

Can the future be foretold

In a faded photograph

Can a dream be bought and sold

Well, I guess I have to laugh

Sippin' on a scotch and soda

A shadow in the corner booth

So philosophic and drunk on grown-up truth

But there’s nowhere to hide

Where the night can’t find me

Where the light of the sun can’t blind me

Like the light in a woman’s eyes

There’s nowhere to hide

From the dream that drives me

Like a fire burning deep inside me

Oh, I know she’ll be there tonight

Half-forgotten fragments

Of a high school dance

In the dead white hours of winter

When we loved so hard

That we thought it would never end

Tryin' to remember

How it used to feel

When a kiss was something special

And I wonder now

Will it ever be again

But there’s nowhere to hide

Where the night can’t find me

Where the light of the sun can’t blind me

Like the light in a woman’s eyes

There’s nowhere to hide

From the dream that drives me

Like a fire burning deep inside me

Oh, I know she’ll be there tonight

Lovers come and lovers go

But it’s never twice the same

Happiness is hard to show

When you’re numb to all the pain

And I’ve been floatin' round

Like an old newspaper

Blowin' down some windy street

Feeling so alone and incomplete

But there’s nowhere to hide

Where the night can’t find me

Where the light of the sun can’t blind me

Like the light in a woman’s eyes

There’s nowhere to hide

From the dream that drives me

Like a fire burning deep inside me

Oh, I know she’ll be there tonight

Yes, I know she’ll be there tonight
