Another night
At the bottom of the river of life
The world is closing over me
But everything's all right
A life alone is all I need
Just a deep blue dive
Where nobody asks if you're alive
And, baby, I know
The only way that I'll ever go
Is up
Another night
In a city with no street lighting
Standing under windows
Where I hear two lovers fighting
I wouldn't keep a dog down here
Where criminals sing
If I could fly I'd be on the wing
And, baby, I know
The only way that I'll ever go
Is up
And there was a time
That it almost came to love
There was a place, just a point on the map
And, oh, I need you now
Oh, I need you
You learn something new every day
Another night
At the bottom of the river of life
I know I look lonely, I know
But everything's all right
Love might be the answer
But I don't have the price
I never seem to burn the same way twice
And, baby, I know
The only way that I'll ever go
Is up
