THE POWER OF THE NIGHT by Dieter Hoffmann (dieter_hoffmann@yahoo.com) I am a loner a stranger in this world Don't know nobody not a boy not a girl Ain't got no money my clothes are in rags No work for wages my life is just a drag I had a family a car and a job I lost it all my friends called me a flop I tried to hold on as normal as I could All that's left now are night walks in the wood I need that feeling when I'm walking in the dark That smell of sleeping roses when I'm sitting in the park The power of the night makes me happy makes me feel free The power of the night out in the darkness that's where I wanna be The power of the night bare and naked nothing left to lose The power of the night will take away the blues I live from welfare my room is a shack These times of plenty they're never coming back There's only one thing brings up the man in me A modest pleasure it's easy can't you see I need that feeling when I'm walking in the dark That smell of sleeping roses when I'm sitting in the park The power of the night makes me happy makes me feel free The power of the night out in the darkness that's where I wanna be The power of the night bare and naked nothing left to lose The power of the night will take away the blues
