Midnight

Not a sound from the pavement

Has the moon lost her memory?

She is smiling alone

In the lamplight the withered leaves collect at my feet

And the wind

Begins to moan



Every streetlamp seems to beat

A fatalistic warning

Someone mutters and the street lamp gutters

And soon

It will be morning



Daylight

I must wait for the sunrise

I must think of a new life

And I musn't give in

When the dawn comes, tonight will be a memory too

And a new life

Will begin



Burnt out ends of smoky days

The stale, cold smell of morning

Street lamp dies, another night is over

Another day is dawning



Touch me

It's so easy to leave me

All alone with the memory

Of my days in the sun

If you touch me, you'll understand what happiness is

Look, a new day

Has begun
