When I look up in to the darkness, With the night sky over me, I can feel a cold wind blowing, From out across the sea. I've got the freeway road confusion, I was bound to be confined, To be lost and disillusioned, By these ideas in my mind. Chorus: I got a thorn in my saddle Now if love don't prove the answer, Gonna find myself locked in, Just a prisoner of darkness, My light threatened by the wind. Mama holds me in the half light, With her reassuring smile. And she gives me all the strength I need, For this journey into night.
