Midnight Sun

(album: Dreams Of Ordinary Men - 1986)

They say you know way around
They say you are a man of the world
You say she is a new kid in town
You think that she's just another girl
You get suspicious that something is wrong
No explanation why it lasts so long
By the look on your face
Everybody knows you can't deny that you're feeling too bold

You can feel the heat when the light is gone
You've been burned by the midnight sun
When you look for relief but you can't find none
You've been burned by the midnight sun

Like a train running down the track
It's too late, things are out of control
There's no way she can take it back
There's no release from the brand on your soul
You never notice the touch of her hand
You mess around with things you don't understand
Now you sit in the dark as the new day dies
Her face is smiling when you close your eyes

You can feel the heat when the light is gone
You've been burned by the midnight sun
When you look for relief but you can't find none
You've been burned by the midnight sun
You can feel the heat when the light is gone
You've been burned by the midnight sun
When you look for relief but you can't find none
You've been burned by the midnight sun

I know the feeling
You wish you'd been warned
Now you and I must be brothers in arms
'Cause I know the pain 'cause I know her kind
One left a fire burning in my mind

I can feel the heat when the light is gone
I've been burned by the midnight sun
When I look for relief but I can't find none
I've been burned by the midnight sun
