Midnight - The Drifters

The city carved a silhouette

On the ocean after dark

Over the lonely and the holy

And the red blood beating hearts

Up from the dirty black water

A shadow void of form

Raised itself out of the river

And it climbed upon the shore

Neon on the black top

There’s a gentle rain downtown

The shadow pooling underneath me

As it follows on the ground

Kissed you when I saw you

Stared deep into your eyes

I meant to say ‘I love you'

But instead I said goodbye

Shadows in the city

I’m a stranger to myself

On these streets I’m someone else

Shadows in the city

Like a demon in the dark

Come to tear us apart

For all my good intentions

There’s a shadow in the dark

It comes to me infrequently

And breaks your perfect heart

I don’t know why I do it

Apologize but it’s too Late

A single tear you leave me here

And the Shadow slips away

Shadows in the city

I’m a stranger to myself

On these streets I’m someone else

Shadows in the city

Like a demon in the dark

Come to tear us apart
