Midnight Men Lyrics by Jay Johnson

0

Verse 1
Oh we're the ones who collect the papers in the morning
Wide awake through the night when you're snoring
Spare some time to think of us but if you don't
The world keeps spinning we still work alone
I'm staring at you across the table
Half asleep but still willing and able
And In my mind you wearing a crown
Darling I'll never let you down

Pre-chorus
My days are no longer bright
Honey I wish I could stay with you tonight

Chorus
We're the midnight men
We're working through the night again
Providing a life we'll never see
The silent army you'll never meet
We're the midnight men
Taking the midnight train
We've learned to embrace our tired hearts
We'll only see the sun as it departs

Verse 2
Sometimes I can be as cold as a stone
Guess it just comes with being on my own
Maybe this storm will end and if it does
I'll never forget the way life once was
Coming home as you're leaving
I'll never let you see me grieving
I hope that you realise
And see past my sleepless eyes

Pre-chorus
My days are no longer bright
Honey I wish I could stay with you tonight

Chorus
We're the midnight men
We're working through the night again
Providing a life we'll never see
The silent army you'll never meet
We're the midnight men
Taking the midnight train
We've learned to embrace our tired hearts
And we'll only see the sun as it departs

Bridge
Don't blame the humble security guard,
When he falls asleep at his post
You don't know the kind of life he's had but one things for sure it's been harder than most
Waking up as the sunsets, seems to me like quite a strange concept
And I've been wondering how many sleepless nights it takes to be an overnight success

Chorus
We're the midnight men
We're working through the night again
Providing a life we'll never see
The silent army you'll never meet
We're the midnight men
Taking the midnight train
We've learned to embrace our tired hearts
And we'll only see the sun as it departs
