The Midnight Clear
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.
It came upon the midnight clear
That glorious sign of old
Enraptured secret sign of fear
In brave disguises
Old shoes and thirty feet
The phrophet's sign of prophecy
I resign to petty things
Like angels bending on their knees
Do you delight, do you delight
In me
I laughed about it
Come to me now, come to me now
And bring
That rapture's moment
I wasn't changed, I wasn't changed
One bit
Though you may doubt it
I don't suppose, I don't suppose
You'd care
To ask about it
The dead of winter takes a grip
And moves around us
All night our labors clap and kiss
Like working mothers
Old moons and thirty feet
The clock, it sounds of properties
I resign to glorious things
Like angels bending on their knees
Do you delight, do you delight
In me
I laughed about it
Come to me now, come to now
And bring
That rapture's moment
I wasn't changed, I wasn't changed
One bit
Though you may doubt it
I don't suppose, I don't suppose
You'd care
To ask about it
I will delight, I will delight
In this
Though you may doubt it
Come to me now, come to me now
My kiss
And ask about it
I will delight, I will delight
In this
Though you may doubt it
Come to me now, come to me now
My kiss
