 Lyrics | Traveling After Dark

I'm traveling after dark
I'm winding down the road
Straight into the heart
Of a place I've never known
I'm looking for a sign
Guided by the stars
Until I see your light
I'm just traveling after dark

Did they take the part of you
That you love the most
The one thing that was true
The thing you held so close
That bridge is all burned down
Gotta head back to the start
But until you make it babe
You're just traveling after dark

Traveling after dark
Guided by the stars
Just dream another dream
I hope it takes you far
Traveling after dark

We all want something real
And we're all hoping to find
A closer way to feel
Just one thing to remind
Just one way to forgive
Sometimes we fall too far
Just someone to be with
When we're traveling after dark

Traveling after dark
Guided by the stars
Let’s dream another dream 
And may it take us far
Traveling after dark 

It’s time you go to him
Cause he really needs you now
His days are closing in 
And you’ve never let him down
He’s running out of time
You know this in your heart
He won’t leave you behind 
When he’s traveling after dark

He’ll just be traveling after dark

Traveling after dark
Guided by the stars
Just dream another dream 
And may it take you far

Traveling after dark
Traveling after dark
Traveling after dark
