Midnight Black

(album: The Temperance Movement - 2013)

Blind faith explorer, I'm on a mission impossible I know,
But I got a little burning light.
All the stories I told her, the final cut was the deepest one of all,
Then she vanished clean out of sight.

I hit the floor around 4.47 with the morning blues, crying like a puppy dog.
It takes some time to come around, face the music gotta pay your dues,
You're the only one I want.

Last time tonight, that I'm gonna cry gotta put this right,
I've been dying, girl I just ain't been feeling right.
Yes I'm in trouble I know it, you shot me down, hurting like a heart attack,
All over you yeah, my brown eyed girl,
And yes I swear her hair was midnight black.

Don't say it's over, I'm going walking baby why don't you come along?
We'll steal a little precious time.
Won't you give me your number, so I can bug you I'll be calling you up all night,
With all my rhythm and my rhyme.

I held the angel in a headlock honey till the sun broke through,
Fighting with the lord above.
He hit me square in the heart, like a kiss with a fist I knew,
Trying to learn me how to love.

Last time tonight, that I'm gonna cry gotta put this right,
I've been dying, girl I just ain't been feeling right.
Yes I'm in trouble I know it, you shot me down, hurting like a heart attack,
All over you yeah, my brown eyed girl,
And yes I swear her hair was midnight black.

I hit the floor around 4.47 with the morning blues, crying like a puppy dog.
It takes some time to come around, face the music gotta pay your dues,
You're the only one I want.

Last time tonight, that I'm gonna cry gotta put this right,
I've been dying, girl I just ain't been feeling right.
Yes I'm in trouble I know it, you shot me down, hurting like a heart attack,
All over you yeah, my brown eyed girl,
And yes I swear her hair was midnight black.
Midnight black.
Midnight black.
Midnight black.
Midnight black.
