My midnight's never just and never fair It haunts me like a ghost when it's not there Andwhen I think I've learned to know its call My midnight shakes me down to nothing at all
My midnight's never late and always slow A smile and a nod and it's time to go And when I start to think that I'm wasting my time My midnight strikes me down with a single chime
My midnight's never brave and never strong It just waits patiently 'til I come along And when I think I've found a place and a time That's when my midnight comes and leaves me blind
My midnight laughs at me when I run away Shades of blue and gold and white and grey And when I see my chance and I think I can run My midnight strikes me down before I've begun
My midnight hates me much like I hate myself Always steps between me and someone else And when i start to fear I'm growing too old That's when my midnight comes and releases its hold
My midnight comes in ways I can't explain Blotting out the sun with the wind and rain And when I start to learn to love the night My Midnight blinds me with its flashing light
