Across From Midnight

Across From Midnight - Joe Cocker

Written by：Leanne White/Tony Joe White/Chris Lord Alge/Roger Davies

It's come down to just the two of us

Me and my shadow on the wall

Radio playing softly

Somewhere down the hall

And over in the next room

The hollow sound

Of a cigarette cough

I'm sitting across from midnight

Morning's a long way off

There's a fire in a trash can

In the alley below

The down and outers gather round

Sippin' wine and talkin' low

We're companions of the night time

We got no place to go

A Sittin' across from midnight

Time and draggin' by too slow

You can feel the night

When you're all alone

There's comfort in the room

You keep hangin' on

Hangin' on

You wait

You wait

Until

The dawn

Ohh yeah

The skeletons in the closet

March around like a platoon

I guess it's too much to ask for

I need some breathing room

And the tall city buildings

They cover up the moon

I'm sitting across from midnight

Morning can't come too soon

The early morning hours

Bring out the darkness of your thoughts

When you sit across from midnight

Morning's a long way off

So far away

Sitting across from midnight

It's gettin' dark

Sitting across from midnight

Me and the shadow on the wall

Sitting across from midnight

Morning's such a long way off

You know I'm sitting across from midnight

Sitting across from midnight
