Have you found what you're searching for
Down the endless highways of this life
Has your soul ached so long to receive
Refuge from yet another sleepless night

Have you felt like it's time to surrender
Does the music drown the sound of your pain
The crowds now become a part of your emptiness
As you gaze at the neon signs once again

Do you seek comfort in the merriment around you
Dance with feet keeping rhythm but not your mind
Shut your eyes tightly, dreaming of someone else
Their heartbeat next to yours keeping time

The lights now brighten, once again closing time
Reluctant you return to a dark and empty home
Bury your head deep in that damp pillow
Knowing all dreams end when we awake at dawn

I really liked this poem alot.  It reminds me of this girl I used to know...the one that got away.  How I sometimes wonder if I ever even cross her mind half as much as she crosses mine.

I have a question about this part:

Has your soul ached so long to receive
Refuse from yet another sleepless night

Do you mean to ask if the soul aches for garbage?  Or did you mean to say "refuge"?
The latter makes sense.  The former does not.
