"Searchlight" lyrics

Searchlight

Oh the midnight
Need a searchlight
Oh the midnight
Need a searchlight

I walk along
The rocky shore
The place I lost myself
I search the water
Look in the sky
I hear the cries for help

I trace my footsteps
Down to the sea
But then the path disappears
Here in the darkness
I'm running blind
Been stumbling for all of these years

Oh the midnight
Need a searchlight
Oh the midnight
Need a searchlight

What was the demon
That made me run
Can I ever hope to understand?
I hear my voice
Echoes on the wind
I try to reach out with my hand

Without a light
I might be here forever
Lost for all eternity
There in the darkness
Slipping through my fingers
The face that smiles back is me

Oh the midnight
Need a searchlight
Oh the midnight
Need a searchlight

Oh the midnight
Need a searchlight
Oh the midnight
Need a searchlight

Oh the midnight
Need a searchlight
Oh the midnight
Need a searchlight
