The silver sun is falling down For to sleep beneath the waves Calm and dark will go the hours Til he comes around again And if i was somebody else I'd keep me company tonight "Cause you never knew a longer spell Than a midnight passing by The raven crying in the yard Like he lost his only friend And just like me he's got a song That'll die along the wind And call it sorrow if you call it anything It's just a trap of the night But you never heard a longer ring Than a midnight passing by Broken branches lying around Scattered matches never lit The moon it burns my eyes somehow And the sky is mumbling And I don't know if the world's spinning round Or if it stopped here tonight But you never knew a longer sound Than a midnight passing by I'd like to say it's new to me And I won't be here again But the stars all know me by my name Who am I fooling? And all the words that I could ever say Would echo empty and dry But remember me when you feel the wave Of a midnight passing by
