Nearly Midnight Songtext
von David Francey

The moon is high
There′s a vale of cloud
Like a wedding dress
A funeral shroud
And the land lies sleeping
Stark and still
Chain of lights
On the darkened hills
And it's nearly midnight
And I′m nearly home
And I'm travelling down
This road alone
Snow and shadow
Blue moon light
Farmhouse window
Warm and bright
Promised shelter
From the winter wind
Absolution
For a passing sin


And it's nearly midnight
And I′m nearly home
And I′m travelling down
This road alone
On a pilgrim journey through the night
The distant stars, winter bright
In the darkened world and this road I'm on
You are the light a-coming down
On a silver journey through the night
The distant stars, winter bright
In the darkened world and this road I′m on
You are the light a-coming down
Lake lies silent
Still as stone
Hard as rock
White as bone
And the telephone poles
Stagger drunken home
Down the twisted roads
Of the great unknown
And it's nearly midnight
And I′m nearly home
And I'm travelling down
This road alone
And it′s nearly midnight
And I'm nearly home
And I'm travelling down
This road alone
