Tony Joe White - Across From Midnight download song

Song Lyrics

when you sit across from midnight
There s a fire in the trashcan, i guess it s too much to ask for
we re companions of the night time
Sitting across from midnight, in the alley below
i need some breathing room
And morning ist a long way off, march around like habitu

Me and the shadow on the wall, the skeletons in the closet, i m sittin across from midnight
Sitting across from midnight, the hollow sound of the cigarette come
They cover up the moon, i m sittin across from midnight
I m sittin across from midnight, and the tall city buildings Tony, sitting across from midnight
The hollow sound of the cigarette come, time dragging by too slow
There s a fire in the trashcan, morning s a long way off, i m sitting across from midnight

You keep hangin on you wait until the dawn, sitting across from midnight Midnight, sitting across from midnight
there s comfort in the room
It s gettin dark, we re companions of the night time, and over in the next room
radio playin softly
Sitting across from midnight, you know i m sitting across from midnight, morning s such a long way off
and the tall city buildings

in the alley below
morning s such a long way off
Sipping wine and talking low, and the tall city buildings Tony, morning s such a long way off
in the alley below
And morning ist a long way off, morning s such a long way off, morning s such a long way off
Time dragging by too slow, it s gettin dark Tony, when you sit across from midnight

sitting across from midnight
bring out the darkness of your thoughts
Morning s such a long way off, and over in the next room
There s comfort in the room, the hollow sound of the cigarette come, there s a fire in the trashcan
They cover up the moon, sitting across from midnight Across, radio playin softly
You know i m sitting across from midnight, in the alley below, radio playin softly

You keep hangin on you wait until the dawn, radio playin softly
I need some breathing room, sitting across from midnight
March around like habitu, radio playin softly, i guess it s too much to ask for
Bored and you can t come to soon, the skeletons in the closet, the hollow sound of the cigarette come
And the tall city buildings, you know i m sitting across from midnight Joe, we ve got no place to go just sitting across from midnight
i m sittin across from midnight

radio playin softly
And morning ist a long way off, sipping wine and talking low Across, the early morning hours
Bored and you can t come to soon, you can feel the night when you re all alone
Sitting across from midnight, when you sit across from midnight
Time dragging by too slow, time dragging by too slow, the hollow sound of the cigarette come
Bring out the darkness of your thoughts, and the tall city buildings White, you know i m sitting across from midnight

me and the shadow on the wall
Sitting across from midnight, the hollow sound of the cigarette come
You know i m sitting across from midnight, bored and you can t come to soon, sitting across from midnight
And morning ist a long way off, the skeletons in the closet, me and the shadow on the wall
you can feel the night when you re all alone
it s gettin dark

it s come down to just the two of us me and my shadow on the wall
bring out the darkness of your thoughts
When you sit across from midnight, we ve got no place to go just sitting across from midnight, the hollow sound of the cigarette come
I need some breathing room, i need some breathing room, there s comfort in the room
A thousand others gather round, there s a fire in the trashcan Tony, me and the shadow on the wall
you can feel the night when you re all alone

it s come down to just the two of us me and my shadow on the wall
sitting across from midnight
You know i m sitting across from midnight, somewhere down the hall, and over in the next room
When you sit across from midnight, sitting across from midnight
The skeletons in the closet, radio playin softly
