Lyrics

Midnight

In the darkness before the dawn In the swirling of this storm When I'm rolling with the punches and hope is gone Leave a light, a light on Millions of miles from home In the swirling swimming on When I'm rolling with the thunder but bleed from thorns Leave a light, a light on Leave a light, a light on Ooooh-ah Ooooh-oh Ooooh-oh Ooooh-ah Leave a light, a light on Leave a light, a light on In the darkness before the dawn In the darkness before the dawn Leave a light, a light on Leave a light, a light on
