My Midnight Home

Am  E x?

Am  E x2        Midnight is the time when the

Am  E x2        man within my mind

Am      E x2    Takes me to the place he calls his home.

 

Am  E x2        Takes my hand from the Man of Sand

Am  E x2        leads me from the slumber land.

Am      E x2    Reminds me that I always am alone.

 

{F  E  G  E  Am    E}  x2    Am  E x?

 

Am  E x2        Through the buzz of sleepy eyes

Am  E x2        Silently he stares at me 

Am  E x2        smiles, then he looks away from me,

Am  E x2        sighs and shrugs then leaps towards me.

Am      E x2    Stops about and inch before my face.

 

Am  E x2        Floating right in front of me    

Am  E x2        he puffs a breath that I can see.

Am      E x2    Smoke that seems to fill the empty space.

 

{F  E  G  E  Am    E}  x2    Am  E x?

 

Am  E x2        Now I'm left awake in bed,

Am  E x2        yearning just to ease my head.

Am  E x2        Surely you could use my head.  I

Am  E x2        need for you to use my head, to

Am  E x2        use my head, please use my head.

Am      E x2    I need for you to use my head.

Am  E x2        Something stirs beneath the sheets

Am  E x2        Something tells me it's not my feet.  They

Am  E x2        can't compete, they're not complete.  I'm

Am  E x2        not complete.  I'm not without a

Am  E x2        funky beat, a funky beat.

Am      E x2    Surely you could use a funky beat.

 

Am  E x?

 

Am  E x2        Midnight is the time    when my

Am  E x2        light begins to shine.

Am  E x2        Illuminate my neural gate and

Am  E x2        then create, let's recreate

Am  E x2        and duplicate again so

Am  E x2        I won't be alone so

Am  E x2        I won't be alone

Am      E x2    in a place I'll call my midnight home.
