Meet Me at Midnight
Meet me at midnight, with your cello and your bow
Meet me at midnight, and we'll watch those rivers flow
In a black lace negligee, bearing weeds or a bouquet
Meet me at midnight, with a white flag on your mast
Meet me at midnight; a memento from the past
Begs your servant on his knees; I'm a slave who longs to please
Nothing is so very holy. Nothing is as pure
Suddenly it's obvious, what I've been looking for
I have dreamed this dream so often, I can taste it like it's real
Unlace the garments slowly; there is nothing to conceal
Meet me at midnight, with your charity untamed
Meet me at midnight, with an arrow that's well aimed
With a look you can't disguise. Come, if only for goodbyes
Meet me at midnight; I'm a thief who longs to steal
Meet me at midnight, and let us break the seal
In a graduation gown, with a spice box and a crown
When those two hands meet upon that, restless numbered face
I will raise you like a glass, and drink you by the case
I will say a humble blessing, as we play that ancient game
And writhing like a beast, I will praise His Holy Name
Meet me at midnight; there's a mission to complete
Meet me at midnight, before these words grow obsolete
With a gift that couldn't wait. I'll be standing by the gate
Meet me at midnight, with those trinkets that he gave
Meet me at midnight, with a prize you couldn't save
Like a child that's newborn, stay with me, until it's dawn
Meet me at midnight, and we'll watch those rivers flow
In a black lace negligee, bearing weeds or a bouquet
Meet me at midnight, with a white flag on your mast
Meet me at midnight; a memento from the past
Begs your servant on his knees; I'm a slave who longs to please
Nothing is so very holy. Nothing is as pure
Suddenly it's obvious, what I've been looking for
I have dreamed this dream so often, I can taste it like it's real
Unlace the garments slowly; there is nothing to conceal
Meet me at midnight, with your charity untamed
Meet me at midnight, with an arrow that's well aimed
With a look you can't disguise. Come, if only for goodbyes
Meet me at midnight; I'm a thief who longs to steal
Meet me at midnight, and let us break the seal
In a graduation gown, with a spice box and a crown
When those two hands meet upon that, restless numbered face
I will raise you like a glass, and drink you by the case
I will say a humble blessing, as we play that ancient game
And writhing like a beast, I will praise His Holy Name
Meet me at midnight; there's a mission to complete
Meet me at midnight, before these words grow obsolete
With a gift that couldn't wait. I'll be standing by the gate
Meet me at midnight, with those trinkets that he gave
Meet me at midnight, with a prize you couldn't save
Like a child that's newborn, stay with me, until it's dawn
