Lyrics
Backbone Of The Night
Graeham Goble
September 2nd & 8th, 1985
Hold the phone
To the backbone of the night I go alone
To the shelter of the brightest light I've seen
Is it a dream?
Can I escape the scene I've painted for my life?
This lonely life
That is echoed through the backbone of the night
To the backbone of the night I run
When the day is done
I meet you there, we sail out through the air
Lost on a flight
To the backbone of the night
Going home
Can I make it through to paradise alone?
To arrive and find nobody misses me
How can it be?
I was the fugitive who came to set them free
I was the light
That was shining down the backbone of the night
To the backbone of the night I run
When the day is done
I meet you there, we sail out through the air
Lost on a flight
To the backbone of the night
One of these days
We'll all be home
We'll get to where we started long ago
We know the way
Our hearts will carry us
To who we need to be with through the day
They know
What not to say
Don't wait for me
I'll be 'round to see you soon as I am free
I'll be yours forever more until I go
Then you will know
That I arrived my destination just in time
I was on time
And I got there through the backbone of the night
To the backbone of the night I run
When the day is done
I meet you there, we sail out through the air
Lost on a flight
To the backbone of the night
To the backbone of the night I go
When my heart is low
To ride the dreams of those who go between
The dark and the light
To the backbone of the night
Backbone of the night
