Midnight

Lyrics for Midnight

The city carved a silhouette On the ocean after dark Over the lonely and the holy And the red blood beating hearts Up from the dirty black water A shadow void of form Raised itself out of the river And it climbed upon the shore Neon on the black top There's a gentle rain downtown The shadow pooling underneath me As it follows on the ground Kissed you when I saw you Stared deep into your eyes I meant to say 'I love you' But instead I said goodbye Shadows in the city I'm a stranger to myself On these streets I'm someone else Shadows in the city Like a demon in the dark Come to tear us apart For all my good intentions There's a shadow in the dark It comes to me infrequently And breaks your perfect heart I don't know why I do it Apologize but it's too Late A single tear you leave me here And the Shadow slips away Shadows in the city I'm a stranger to myself On these streets I'm someone else Shadows in the city Like a demon in the dark Come to tear us apart
