The Midnight Hours

I’m not sleeping

I’m not in bed

‘Cause tomorrow’s spinning

Around in my head

 

And all the years I carry

Fall away

When it’s after midnight

And still the same day

 

‘Cause I live in the midnight hours

When all the world’s black and white

Where I am who I’ve always been

And time stops to let me in

Just for the night

 

There’ll always be a child

Inside of me

And there’ll always be nighttime

When I can be free

 

And in my lifetime

I may roam

But in the quiet moonlight

I’ll find my way home

 

‘Cause I live in the midnight hours

When all the world’s black and white

Where I am who I’ve always been

And time stops to let me in

Just for the night
