Singing Songs

I'm singing songs nearly every night

But I don't know who's listening

'Cause you're down in the dark

And I'm up here in light

And only now and then I see a face of you

But what's going on behind your face

Why did you come to this place

Is it really music, or is it something else

Sometimes I can read it from your eyes

'Cause sometimes, when you're with me

I can feel reflections of your souls

Then I'm with you and I know

All I'm doing is just feeling so good

And when the show is over

I'm like everyone

I pack up my guitar

And maybe I'm satisfied with what I've done

Hmm, it's not easy all the time

When you're standing on your side and I'm on mine

Maybe you want me to act like a star

But just this night I've got a completely empty heart

Lost is every word in my song

When you see my bowed head and you think my place is wrong

'Cause though you're strong and sometimes wise

You're getting angry when your clown is crying, yeah, yeah, yeah

I know, that we all need a push to live on

But you have to live your life and I live it in my song

And if you need somebody to help

So, don't look at me

'Cause I need help myself, yeah

And when the show is over

I'm like everyone

I pack up my guitar

And maybe I'm satisfied with what I've done
