Lyrics Midnight - The Drifters

Midnight

The city carved a silhouette
On the ocean after dark
Over the lonely and the holy
And the red blood beating hearts
Up from the dirty black water
A shadow void of form
Raised itself out of the river
And it climbed upon the shore
Neon on the black top
There’s a gentle rain downtown
The shadow pooling underneath me
As it follows on the ground
Kissed you when I saw you
Stared deep into your eyes
I meant to say ‘I love you'
But instead I said goodbye
Shadows in the city
I’m a stranger to myself
On these streets I’m someone else
Shadows in the city
Like a demon in the dark
Come to tear us apart
For all my good intentions
There’s a shadow in the dark
It comes to me infrequently
And breaks your perfect heart
I don’t know why I do it
Apologize but it’s too Late
A single tear you leave me here
And the Shadow slips away
Shadows in the city
I’m a stranger to myself
On these streets I’m someone else
Shadows in the city
Like a demon in the dark
Come to tear us apart
