Across from Midnight

It’s 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

I’m sittin’ across from midnight

And morning ist a long way off

There’s a fire in the trashcan

In the alley below

A thousand others gather ’round

Sipping wine and talking low

We’re companions of the night time

We’ve got no place to go

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 hangin’ on

You wait … until … the dawn, oh yeah

The skeletons in the closet

March around like habitué

I guess it’s too much to ask for

I need some breathing room

And the tall city buildings

They cover up the moon

I’m sitting across from midnight

Bored and you can’t come to soon

The early morning hours

Bring out the darkness of your thoughts

When you sit across from midnight

Morning’s a long way off, so far away

Sitting across from midnight

It’s gettin’ dark

Sitting across from midnight

Me and the shadow on the wall

Sitting across from midnight

Morning’s such a long way off

You know I’m sitting across from midnight

Sitting across from midnight
