Long Way Past Midnight
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I've been sitting here drinking
Hoping that maybe this night's gonna end
But there's a lady in waiting
Who's thinking that maybe I might need a friend...
Just an angel of quiet desperation
Gettin' saved in the blue neon light
And it's a long way past midnight...
If I don't ask any questions
She won't tell any lies...
Wouldn't that be a change
And if I hold her real tight
And just close my eyes
She might feel the same
And I can be anything that she wants me to be
Except be around come the light
And it's a long way past midnight...
It's a long, long way
When you're running from a heartbreak
It's a long, long way
When you're out there on your own
It's a long, long way, ooh
To get from the darkness to the light
And it's a long way past midnight...
And she plays that song over and over
I can hear it as I fade out of sight
And it's a long way past midnight...
It's a long, long way
When you're running from a heartbreak
It's a long, long way
When you're out there on your own
It's a long, long way
To get from the darkness to the light
And it's a long way past midnight...
And it's a long way past midnight...
Oh it's such a long, long, long way past midnight...
