Nightwalker Lyrics

I'm a nightwalker and I'm roaming ragged roads

Where I've gone no one knows

A wayward hero walking the lonely sleepless night

Time moves on beneath moonlight

And so I chase some slowly bygone dream

Of old haunts who never seem

To get closer to my reach because

It's what a nightwalker does

I'm a searcher for time that's slipped away

Seeking small glories every day

A ramblin' gambler walking along the martyrs' street

Through smoke and mirrors of defeat

But at night I'm a prodigal son with no return

Though many miles still left to burn

Before I'm heading home because

That's what a nightwalker does

It's what a nightwalker does

Now I'm drawn to the barroom lights

Where only the lonely still remain

I'll raise my glass to all the writer's tears

The ink our blood to ease the pain

I'm an imposter's dream in a fool's night's arcade

Sharpening his pen into a shiny blade

Trying to fight off the phantoms at my side

As they do their best to hide

And there I drink the devil back down his hole

So he no longer dares to show

His wicked smile to mine because

Oh it could have been us

Oh it could be one of us

That's what a nightwalker does

It's what a nightwalker does

That's what a nightwalker does

It's what a nightwalker
