       Just when you make your way back home
          I find sometime to be        alone
             I go to see the place once more
         Just like a thousand nights before

     I climb the stage again this night 'cause the place seems still alive, when the smoke is going...

Verse 2 (the same as 1)

 This is the place where I belong
 I really love to turn you on
 I've got your sound still in my ear
 While your traces disappear
