Midnight Songtext
von The Shadows

The city carved a silhouette
On the ocean after dark
Over the lonely and the holy
And the red blood beating hearts

Up from the dirty black water
A shadow void of form
Raised itself out of the river
And it climbed upon the shore

Neon on the black top
There′s a gentle rain downtown
The shadow pooling underneath me
As it follows on the ground

Kissed you when I saw you
Stared deep into your eyes
I meant to say 'I love you′
But instead I said goodbye


Shadows in the city
I'm a stranger to myself
On these streets I'm someone else
Shadows in the city
Like a demon in the dark
Come to tear us apart

For all my good intentions
There′s a shadow in the dark
It comes to me infrequently
And breaks your perfect heart

I don′t know why I do it
Apologize but it's too Late
A single tear you leave me here
And the Shadow slips away

Shadows in the city
I′m a stranger to myself
On these streets I'm someone else
Shadows in the city
Like a demon in the dark
Come to tear us apart
