Steppenwolf - You lyrics

Words and music by John Kay

The night wind howls way up in the canyon

The moon comes out while fog rolls in

One more time I'm waiting for the spirit of the past

To appear and trouble me again

Time goes by like a sail on the ocean

Sleep won't come though my eyes grow dim

And in the dark I see what I have seen a hundred times

The ghost, the ghost of might have been

Oh, it's you

You keep me hanging on

You're the one whose memory I see

Yeah you, you hang on till the dawn

And it's you and what we knew, that's killing me

The love we shared was the dream of a lifetime

The joy we knew, our reason to be

And if it's hard to live without some happiness or love

Worst of all is this hopeless misery

oh, it's you…

I don't know who to blame

And it really doesn't matter anymore

I'm trying hard to keep the past

From driving me insane

But somehow I keep hoping, to see you at that door

Early morning sun is rising

I can see it rising through the haze

Someone's walking up my stairs, knocking at my door

Lord how I've longed to see that face

Oh, it's you…..
