Showdown At The Border
And I just watched the empty road behind you
Where the fog lies kissing the mountainside
You want to be sleeping, deep inside
Believing that the hungry world won't find you

All lost in a wonderland

For mortals who stand beside an angel like you

Out of the commonplace into the rare
Somewhere in space I hang suspended
Until I know there's a chance that you care
Won't you answer this fervent prayer
Of a stranger in paradise?
Don't send me in dark despair
>From all that I hunger for
But open your angel's arms
To this stranger in paradise
And tell him that he need be
A stranger no more
