lyrics

Verse 1

Here comes the Midnight song, floating down the stream
Pulling on the moonlit tide, and caught up in a dream
And it runs there deep inside
Where all of the things
We all really need
Are born from desire
Wanting to be freed

It's true
And if only for you
I’ll try
To sing it
And push it on through
And let the night time lead me on.

Chorus

In the black rose style
Turn our backs to the morning
And let's play a while

Oh when I think about all the good times we had
Black Rose why do you make me sing so sad?

Verse 2

In the distance there’s a spotlight, that sweeps across the sky
And it glitters on the hour,
She told me by and by
Like a lighthouse on the shoreline
Shining out to me
But I’m rolling the ocean
Lost to the sea

It's true
I don’t know what else to do
So i’ll try
And sing it
And hope it all comes through the darkness
Because there’s only you and me left here now
So let's push it on through
And let the night time lead us on

Chorus

In the Black Rose style
Turn our backs to the morning
And let's play awhile

Oh when I think about all the good times we had
Black Rose why do you make me sing so sad.
