Lyrics

Breathless in this lonely silence
Longing for my lover
Terrified of each lost kiss the morning will reveal
Lying in a well of "what ifs"
Madness at my heels, forgive me
For the times I never noticed how it feels
To be in darkness
Phoneless, friendless
Exhausted with the weight of doubt and self-recrimination
Oh, midnight I can hear you
Tapping at my door
Hungry for the nightmares I may give you
But come the dawn
I turn and face the rain
Press my nose against the glass and draw your profile
The memory of your smile is like a blanket
As it wraps me in the cotton wool of "maybes"
Another night, it follows quickly
Moving in like night mist
Everything is changing, every shadow
To a watcher in the dark
Thirsty for your perspiration
Running down my back, I'm aching
For the chance to share the honesty we lacked
I am in darkness
Phoneless, friendless
And wishing I could touch and tell you how my heart is broken
Oh, midnight, I can hear you
Tapping at my door
Hungry for the nightmares I may give you
And I have cried
For scales that never soared
Unfinished songs, unwritten scores
That leave me waiting for the moment when you'll walk back in my life
With a dream like this I'll go on believing
Oh, midnight, I can hear you
Tapping at my door
Tonight there are no nightmares left to give you
And I will fly
To a morning that is mine
Where the sound of church bells chiming
And the smiles of passers-by
Will warm my heart from bygone times
And the child within the man no longer cries
How can I be beaten if I'm never in the race?
How can I be followed if I stay in just one place?
