Midnight's calling Are you close behind? Midnight's calling Are you close behind? Trees without leaves an' notes that don't ring Wine left to rot an' a voice that can't sing And hours of making love inside And a light that won't shine in the darkness Could I be any clearer? Could I speak any plainer? I need you here Just to lead my way And fall, fall, fall She'd scolded me for my sinful and wicked ways Towered above me, do you follow? And watched with concealed pleasure As I've ripped out my heart and said I'm bad, I just can't help it But I tr-tr-try to be good And trees without leaves and notes that don't ring Wine left to rot and a voice that can't sing And hours of making love inside And a light that just won't shine in the darkness Could I be any clearer? Could I speak any plainer? I need you here Just to lead my way And fall, fall, fall There's people making lonely There's people making lonely sometime
