Lyrics:
It's come down to just the two of us Me and my shadow on the wall Radio playing softly Somewhere down the hall And over in the next room The hollow sound of a cigarette cough Oh, I'm sitting across from midnight And morning's a long way off There's a fire in a trash can In the alley below The down and outers gather 'round Sipping wine and talking low We're companions of the night time We've got no place to go, oh no Just sitting across from midnight Time dragging by too slow You can feel the night when you're all alone There's comfort in the room You keep hanging on You wait until the dawn The skeletons in the closet March around like a platoon I guess it's too much to ask for I need some breathing room And the tall city buildings They cover up the moon, can't see it I'm sitting across from midnight And morning can't come too soon Oh, the early morning hours Bring out the darkness of your thoughts And you're sitting across from midnight Morning's a long way off
