Slipping sideways
silver stars collide
And fade away
just like our love that died
And there is nowhere
in this universe to hide
From you tonight
I've wrestled with angels
all my life
It's always the haloes
and the wings
That keep you blind
And if I'd fought
with all the strength
I held inside
I wouldn't be out here
Alone tonight
I wouldn't be standing
alone tonight
I wouldn't be standing
alone tonight
I wouldn't be standing
alone tonight
I wouldn't be standing
alone tonight
Alone tonight
just like the western star
I'm sinking
The angels curse me blind with
Straight and crooked thinking
Alone tonight
just like the western star
I'm sinking
The angels curse me blind with
Straight and crooked thinking
I've been crossing out
the words I left unsaid
From the epilogue left
lying in my head
Where there is poetry
and tragedy unread
Until tonight
There's no other angel
quite like you
They broke the mould
a thousand pieces icy blue
And though I tried to realign them
like I do
You went your own way
And I did too
So here I am
Alone tonight just like
the western star I'm sinking
The angels curse me blind with
Straight and crooked thinking
Alone tonight just like
the western star I'm sinking
The angels curse me blind with
Straight and crooked thinking
