Midnight

(album: High And Mighty - 1976)

I just lay down wondering what to lay down
Lately I can do it every day undisturbed
I think I know what but I can't find out how
The morning didn't show me what it was worth

Miles and miles of smiles, getting me nowhere
Opportunities I just can see
You can't lead me to the slaughter 'cause I'll already be there
I've been up that street and I know what's waiting for me
Just waiting

Midnight it was midnight
Moon bright and the moon was bright
Day into day it's a day, it's a day, it's a day
No escape, I must stay no escape until
Midnight, show me the way
Show me the way
Give me something to play
Something to play
To help me make a new day

Take me out of the darkness into the light
I've no friends to stand by me here in the night
It's an affair of a sad and weary heart
Take me out of the darkness back to the start

I just lay down wondering what to lay down
Lately I can do it every day undisturbed
I think I know what I just can't find out how
The morning didn't show me what it was worth
