Midnight again


It's midnight...  again
Seems to come round almost every day...  at the end
Once I knew a person...  Once I had a friend
Said midnight always comes at the beginning

Said midnight's not the moment to move mountains
Just read the flickers while the candles burn
The longest churchbells toll twelve times then silence
But worlds start to shift when pages turn

It's turning...  again
Seems to happen almost every time...  on that you can depend
Once I gained a midnight lover...  Once I lost a friend
The band played on – the world kept on spinning

The band played on and the song felt so familiar
But filled with undertones that I could not discern
The meaning always fleeting and then silence
Silence of the songs I never learned

Silence seems to come around at midnight 
Seems to come round almost every day...  at the end
Once I knew a person...  Once I had a friend
Said midnight always comes at the beginning
