I've been sitting here drinking Hoping that maybe this night's gonna end But there's a lady in waiting Who's thinking that maybe I might need a friend... Just an angel of quiet desperation Gettin' saved in the blue neon light And it's a long way past midnight... If I don't ask any questions She won't tell any lies... Wouldn't that be a change And if I hold her real tight And just close my eyes She might feel the same And I can be anything that she wants me to be Except be around come the light And it's a long way past midnight... It's a long, long way When you're running from a heartbreak It's a long, long way When you're out there on your own It's a long, long way, ooh To get from the darkness to the light And it's a long way past midnight... And she plays that song over and over I can hear it as I fade out of sight And it's a long way past midnight... It's a long, long way When you're running from a heartbreak It's a long, long way When you're out there on your own It's a long, long way To get from the darkness to the light And it's a long way past midnight... And it's a long way past midnight... Oh it's such a long, long, long way past midnight...
