Midnight

And in the dark he sits alone To work his final hours bleeding While unconcerned upon the wall The clock it ticks away the time No need for words for in the dark All words have long since lost their meaning Still when they whisper in his ear He tries to read between the lines What I see in the night? What I feel in your heart? All your dreams all your lies Can you tell them apart? See the hands on the clock Are you watching them turn? For your candle's quite low We've been watching it burn Do you lie here awake As the shadows look on? Should they cry for your sake? Should you sleep in their arms? For the shadows see all And they rarely forget Every dream that you've had Every act you regret
