Meat Loaf - Don't Leave Your Mark On Me lyrics

Under your protective wing I walked into the night

And a thousand angry demons up and took flight

And I went running through the fields with the fever in my veins

And the rain came crashing down and tried to clear my name

Above my head, all in red, I could see you bearing down on me

You said you`re not running out, no you`re leaving now

I will find you, there is no way out

I`ll keep tracking you down in the still of this night

Forever, mine forever

Chorus:

Don`t leave your mark on me, I have to reply

I`m not staying, no, and I`m not just killing time

Don`t leave your mark on me, I have to reply,

I`m not staying, no

I`m not staying, no

Mistress of the darkness, accomplice of the night

A shadow in the doorway beckons me inside

And something led the way though I could not see its face

And a voice from deep inside me screamed to get out of this place

Above my head, all was said as the jailor turned the key on me

He said you`re not running out, no you`re not leaving now

There ain`t no way, there is no no way

(chorus)

This nightmare never ends, memories of absent friends

Masked illusions stare at me, point the finger silently

Stand accused as the jury scares, there`s a ghost in here somewhere

There`s a ghost in here somewhere

(chorus) - I`m not staying, no

Oh this nightmare really never ends,

this is memories of absent friends

(don`t leave your mark on me)

Oh this nightmare really never ends,

there`s a ghost in here somewhere

(don`t leave your mark on me)

(repeats out)
