I Am The Midnight

(album: Dirt Road Driveway - 2013)

I'm the one you can count on every night,
I'll never do you wrong.
I'm halfway between the sunset and sunrise,
Middle of dusk and dawn.
I am the darkness, the memory of light,
I'm the first thing tomorrow when you close your eyes.
I'll find you anywhere you hide.

I am the midnight.
I'm the lonely hearts, home of the searching souls.
I am the whiskey sip you drink instead of going home.
I'm when the lovers rock, I'm when the dreamers pray,
I am a little bit of hope when you need another day.
Whoa, tonight it's a matter of time,
I am the midnight.

I'm the song when you won't dance slow dance
On a Saturday night.
I'm the sleep that you need, but you don't get
On a late night drive.
I am the zeros on the clock,
When a hard day's done, I'll be your rock.
Some want me to go and some want me to start.

I am the midnight.
I'm the lonely hearts, home of the searching souls.
I am the whiskey sip you drink instead of going home.
I'm when the lovers rock, I'm when the dreamers pray,
I am a little bit of hope when you need another day.
Whoa, tonight it's a matter of time,
I am the midnight.

I'm the beginning and end,
I'm full of grace and I'm sin,
I'll see you time and again,
I am the midnight.
I'm the lonely hearts, home of the searching souls.
I am the whiskey sip you drink instead of going home.
I'm when the lovers rock, I'm when the dreamers pray,
I am a little bit of hope when you need another day.

I'm the lonely hearts, home of the searching souls.
I am the whiskey sip you drink instead of going home.
I'm when the lovers rock, I'm when the dreamers pray,
I am a little bit of hope when you need another day.
Whoa, tonight it's a matter of time,
I am the midnight,
I am the midnight,
I am the midnight,
I am the midnight.
