Midnight. Nowhere.

Midnight in nowhere its a perfect little scene
There's a woman on a sofa staring at a TV screen
Looking out the window at the headlight pulling in
Here comes trouble with his boots on and he's drunk as hell again

10 Years of living with your heart upon your sleeve
Hasn't learned you any better not to be so damn naive
Broken words ain't spoken, much as forced between your teeth
I love you, i forgive you, will you please come home to me

Midnight in nowhere and you hear the West Coast train
You could ride down to Vancouver but can you ride it back again
But she's sweeping up the ashes and she's stoking up the fire
She's praying for me somewhere in the quiet morning hour

10 Wooden beads that feel so fragile in the night
Its a decade for forgiveness and a decade out of pride
A decade for the devil and a decade for his bride
A decade for the quiet that you never seem to find

Nameless women of the moonless night
Do not give a damn for me
Cause I've been waiting like a dog all evening
And i still can't get any asleep

Hopes and cares are like the rings we wear
We get worn out and lose our shine
So say your prayers down in the darkness where
Even the damned can have a damn good time

Honey won't you tell me that it wasn't all so bad
With the laughter and the music and the parties that we had
Maybe if we close our eyes we could just make believe
But if your too old for dreaming darling I'm too tired to sleep

Midnight in nowhere now and there's nothing left to see
The kids are in their bedroom and it sounds like your asleep
Our shadows fall across the floor and tomorrow they will rise
I love you I forgive come on darling close your eyes
And it's midnight in nowhere
Midnight nowhere
Midnight nowhere
