searchlight
(Text & musik: J. Fogerty)



[Chorus:]

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 runnin' blind,
Been stumblin' for all of these years.

[Chorus]

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, slippin' through my fingers,
The face that smiles back is me.

[Chorus x3]
