Across From Midnight |
| It’s come down to just the two of us |
| Me and my shadow on the wall |
| Radio playing softly |
| Somewhere down the hall |
| And over in the next room |
| The hollow sound of a cigarette cough |
| Oh, I’m sitting across from midnight |
| And morning’s a long way off |
| There’s a fire in a trash can |
| In the alley below |
| The down and outers gather 'round |
| Sipping wine and talking low |
| We’re companions of the night time |
| We’ve got no place to go, oh no |
| Just sitting across from midnight |
| Time dragging by too slow |
| You can feel the night when you’re all alone |
| There’s comfort in the room |
| You keep hanging on |
| You wait until the dawn |
| The skeletons in the closet |
| March around like a platoon |
| I guess it’s too much to ask for |
| I need some breathing room |
| And the tall city buildings |
| They cover up the moon, can’t see it |
| I’m sitting across from midnight |
| And morning can’t come too soon |
| Oh, the early morning hours |
| Bring out the darkness of your thoughts |
| And you’re sitting across from midnight |
| Morning’s a long way off |
