Midnight And Lonesome

(Julie Miller)

there's a wordless moon that's watching tonight

there's a garden that's left to grow wild

there's a sound with no name when a far away train

cries like an unloved child

the paint on the walls is peeling away

there's a photograph that fades on the shelf

but the memory stays on of a love that is gone

and i'm dancing by myself

why why i wanna know

she went and left me nowhere to go

why why tell me my friend

it's midnight and lonesome again

the moon's still alone and i wonder sometimes

if that's why the train has to cry

so i ask right out loud

but there's no answer now

cause i'm just talking to the sky

now the morning is time to get ready

in the evening you take off your shoes

well you work all the day till the sun's gone away

but midnight lays claim to the blues
