I Am the Midnight

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.
