Golden Earring

From the Album:
* Prisoner of the night

Will's a broken down lover who's never been
Outside the city he lives in
He's got memories of the better days
And he's floatin' in his dream
But tonight's the night that's gonna change
His life - change the whole situation
Mercy just got off the train
She gets a cab at the station
Diamond time ahead - coming in the clear
Lonely hearts disappear
Cause Mercy's on her way and Will don't have to wait
Time and time for the day anymore
Mercy's had enough of the now and then
Of her strait jacket existance
So she packs her bags and cuts her hair
And throws away the ribbons
Cause tonight's the night that's gonna change her life
Change the whole situation
Will just turned the free sign off
Baby where can I take you
Who will stop the rain again
We will stop the rain and then....
