===================================================================== Meat Loaf Lyrics ===================================================================== Don't Leave Your Mark On Me --------------------------------------------------------------------- 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) Parr/Downes, 1984 ---------------------------------------------------------------------
