Midnight Feast

James Yorkston


I never thought I would find life easy
I was lately falling apart
And then you came, and then you made me
Lean that bit harder on my heart

Aren't you just ravenous for a midnight feast
Old drooling moon is shining down on us
At the end of the street
Damned if I do my love, damned if I don't my sweet
Dare I declare this morning's love turned evening deep

Well we went down the road, got soaked in moonlight
Hedged in roses on either side
And all was in our ears was the sound of the ocean
All was in the distance was an indigo sky

Aren't you just ravenous for a midnight feast
Old drooling moon is shining down on us
At the end of the street
Damned if I do my love, damned if I don't my sweet
Dare I declare this morning's love turned evening deep

Come away with me, or leave me
Come nearer me or go away
Just the sound of your breathing
Come a feeling worth feeling
Come a summer's evening at the close of day

Aren't you just ravenous for a midnight feast
Old drooling moon is shining down on us
At the end of the street
Damned if I do my love, damned if I don't my sweet
Dare I declare this morning's love turned evening deep
