Lyrics

Midnight man

There stands the glass
And the whisky's in the jar
How it came to pass
Just a meeting in a bar
You danced like a champ'
You played pool from the ramp
Oooh, I must blow out this midnight lamp

There drowns the moon
It's been drowning down since noon
In my city room
I've been humming on a tune
We played when we met
Seems so easy to forget
For you, while I remember your sweet head

One sunny day
I'll sweep up the ashes of the morning
Fair warning
To you

Here comes another one
A brand new picture on my wall
Rounds pour on and on
Is there an age to heed the call
Of warm family strife
Be a husband, find a wife
Or two ? Upholster the ruins of my life
Now I must stop this midnight man
