In The Wings (New Album Version)

She was standing in the wings that night
I saw her weeping before the lights
Blinded my eyes
Yes, blinded my eyes
I saw her taking off her wedding band
And whisper to the stage door man
But I was high
Yes, I was too high

High on the sound
As the crowd called out my name
I thought that I could take it
I'd paid my dues to make it
To me it was a foolish game

But without you girl (Without you girl)
Nothing is the same
The songs I write are pity
The songs I sing are empty
I need you by my side again
I need a friend

Damn the critics and the Rolling Stones
Promotion men and agency gnomes
My mind is blown
I'm so alone
Wind me up and I can dance and sing
Like a puppet on a string
I play my guitar
They say I'm a star

Who am I fooling?
What does it all mean?
The audience is screaming
Celebrities are meaning
The money and the limousines

'Cause without you girl (Without you girl)
Nothing is the same
The songs I write are pity
The songs I sing are empty
I need you by my side again
I need a friend
