It’s come down to just the two of us Me and my shadow on the wall Radio playin’ softly Somewhere down the hallAnd over in the next room The hollow sound of the cigarette cough I'm sittin’ across from midnight And morning ist a long way offThere’s a fire in the trash can In the alley below A thousand others gather ’round Sipping wine and talking lowWe’re companions of the night time We’ve got no place to go Just sitting across from midnight Time dragging by too slowYou 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, yeahThe skeletons in the closet March around like platoon I guess it’s too much to ask for I need some breathing roomAnd the tall city buildings They cover up the Moon I'm sitting across from midnight Morning can't come too soonThe 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, oh, oh) It’s down (Sitting across from midnight, oh, oh) Me and my shadow on the wall(Sitting across from midnight, oh, oh) Morning’s such a long way off (Sitting across from midnight, oh, oh) (Sitting across from midnight, oh, oh)
