Midnight Serenade

Words

From a thousand miles away

At a lonely time of day

Leave it up to the night to quietly remind us

Time

Though it mostly slips away

Doesn't seem to mind the wait

It's a midnight serenade

Do you feel the same as I do

Close your eyes

Think of what you have beside you

Even I

Understand the reasons why you stay

Oh I am stuck in someone else's shoes

An unfamiliar view

But I promise not to do the things they do

Oh I would never make you choose

I have so much less to lose

There's a world between these words and how we use them

So don't confuse them

Close your eyes

Think of what you have beside you

Even I

Understand the reasons why you stay

I hide behind the waterfall

I wait for you to drink

I sing so you might hear these words

But sadly so might she

She knows you disappear sometimes

But knows that you will stay

And so I end this story with

One last serenade

Close your eyes

Think of what you have beside you

Even I

Understand the reasons why you stay
