There's a chance you'll wake tomorrow
With the shrieking flames of daybreak
Like an ill-tuned trumpet blaring I have left you

You might hurry to your window
Hear the rhythm of my bootheels
See me moving down the highway towards tomorrow

I'm a friend of the darkness
Traveller in the rain
I'll be gone before the daybreak brights again

I love the silver slant of raindrops
And the road just beneath my feet girl
Yet I'm much too shy to say please understand

Last night's storm called me to follow
With the voices of choral thunder
So is it any wonder I have left you

I'm a friend of the darkness
Traveller in the rain
I'll be gone before the daybreak comes again
