| Song | Reach for the Night |
| Artist | Jack Bruce |
| Album | Silver Rails |
| I used to be somebody in the general scheme of things | |
| I built myself a folly cause it looked like it had wings | |
| Then I started to run from myself | |
| I became someone else | |
| I was running straight to hell | |
| I said, you gotta help me now, it’s getting kinda strange | |
| I can’t go on, somehow I’ve got to change | |
| Whenever I reach for the night | |
| You know it just aint right | |
| Cos it’s a pretty scary sound | |
| To hear your future running down | |
| I thought I was a mirror, | |
| looking down from a golden wall | |
| Thought I was a killer, didn’t know nothing at all | |
| I started to live in the dark | |
| I lost sight of the spark | |
| Then I was out of the ballpark | |
| I said, you gotta help me now, | |
| It’s getting kinda weird | |
| I can’t go on somehow, I’ve got this fear | |
| Now whenever I reach for the night | |
| I know it just aint right | |
| Cos it’s a pretty scary sound | |
| To hear your future leaving town….. | |
| I heard the answer from deep in my soul | |
| You’ve got to warm up, keep out of the cold, | |
| I heard the answer from inside my head | |
| You got so many miles, can’t just end up dead, | |
| Get rollin instead…. | |
| Now my train can still sing along those silver rails | |
| I’m wearing love’s ring and my heart is out of jail | |
| The shadows scare no more, | |
| I’ve come through tomorrow’s door | |
| Cause today’s a whole lot more | |
| I said, you’ve gotta take a chance, | |
| don’t make no delays | |
| You gotta join the dance, and make sure you stay | |
| Then whenever you reach for the night | |
| It just won’t feel right | |
| You got so many miles | |
| Get rollin instead |
