Midnight Man

Hold me in your arms tonight
and let me listen to the band
You help to take my blues away
my loving midnight man.

So come to me 
my midnight man
come save me if you can
From all my mind confusion
  i've yet to understand.

I'll give my hand
and dance with you
and
watch the hours fly
and when our time is over
please excuse me if i cry.

Your eyes are soft and loving
and you try to understand
how I can be here
   holding you 
when married to another man.

You see 
my heart is hurting 
and 
I'm tired of the fight
so i'll do my best to make it
within your arms tonight.

And when the dance is over
and the house brings up the lights

I'll let you go my midnight man
and
continue
in my plight.

                                    Shadow
