Round Midnight - Robert Wyatt

Tears you’ve shed today will pause

Waiting until tomorrow

Dreams of what could be

Come close to me, timidly

There’s a brand new day in sight

At that time: round about midnight

Life’s game of chance

And you’re one of the minor players

Look for what you lost

For days to come, harbour some

Let your spirit start the fight

At that time: round about midnight

Every day’s going to bring some sad times

Every day’s going to bring some glad times

So take what you can of the glad times

Don’t measure your pleasure

In nickels and dimes

Look back on today and you’ll know

When you have been unhappy

Tears done, chased away

What might at night have their day

Let your eyes put out their light

At that time: round about midnight

Round about midnight
