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 come
I´m sittin´ across from midnight
And morning ist a long way off

There´s a fire in the trashcan
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 habitué
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
Bored and you can´t come to 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
It´s gettin´ dark
Sitting across from midnight
Me and the shadow on the wall

Sitting across from midnight
Morning´s such a long way off
You know I´m sitting across from midnight
sitting across from midnight
