Midnight

And in the dark he sits alone

to watch 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 is 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
