Joe Cocker - Across From Midnight Lyrics

It’s come down to just the two of us
Me and my shadow on the wall
Radio playin’ softly
Somewhere down the hall

And over in the next room
The hollow sound of the cigarette cough
I'm sittin’ across from midnight
And morning ist a long way off

There’s a fire in the trash can
In the alley below
A thousand others gather ’round
Sipping wine and talking low

We’re companions of the night time
We’ve got no place to go
Just sitting across from midnight
Time dragging by too slow

You can feel the night when you’re all alone
There’s comfort in the room
You keep hangin’ on
You wait until the dawn, oh, yeah

The skeletons in the closet
March around like 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, oh, oh)
It’s down
(Sitting across from midnight, oh, oh)
Me and my shadow on the wall

(Sitting across from midnight, oh, oh)
Morning’s such a long way off
(Sitting across from midnight, oh, oh)
(Sitting across from midnight, oh, oh)
