Lyrics:

Its come down to just the two of us
Me and my shadow on the wall
Radio playin softly
Somewhere down the hall

And over in the next room
The hollow sound of the cigarette come
Im sittin across from midnight
And morning ist a long way off

Theres a fire in the trashcan
In the alley below
A thousand others gather round
Sipping wine and talking low

Were companions of the night time
Weve got no place to go
Just sitting across from midnight
Time dragging by too slow

You can feel the night when youre all alone
Theres comfort in the room
You keep hangin on
You wait & until & the dawn, oh yeah

The skeletons in the closet
March around like habitué
I guess its too much to ask for
I need some breathing room

And the tall city buildings
They cover up the moon
Im sitting across from midnight
Bored and you cant come to soon

The early morning hours
Bring out the darkness of your thoughts
When you sit across from midnight
Mornings a long way off, so far away

Sitting across from midnight
Its gettin dark
Sitting across from midnight
Me and the shadow on the wall

Sitting across from midnight
Mornings such a long way off
You know Im sitting across from midnight
sitting across from midnight
