Songwriter: Joey Tempest

I was heading for the mountains
I had saved so much for you
And in the town I left behind me
There was nothing left to do

I knew that you were waiting
For me to share your life
Cause I told you when I left, that
When I come back you'll be my wife

But someone was waiting
In the shadows of the night
Someone was waiting
It just didn't feel right

Danger on the track
Something told me there were
Strangers on my back
And I was so right

Maybe I should surrender
Maybe I should give it up
But the strength I had inside
Told me you can never stop

The men wanted to break me
Steal and bring me down
But I fought for you and later
They were lying on the ground

Europe

Europe is a Swedish rock band formed in Upplands Väsby, Sweden in 1979, by frontman Joey Tempest, guitarist John Norum, bassist Peter Olsson, and drummer Tony Reno. They obtained a major breakthrough in Sweden in 1982 by winning the televised competition “Rock-SM” (Swedish Rock Championships): it was the first time this competition was held, and Europe became a larger success than the competition itself.
