Uriah Heep

Midnight

Uriah Heep


I just lay down wonderin' 
What to lay down 
Lately I can do it 
Every day undisturbed 
I think I know what 
But I can't find out how 
The morning didn't show me 
What it was worth 

Miles and miles of smiles 
Getting me nowhere 
Opportunities I just can see 
Can't lead me to the slaughter 
'Cause I'll already be there 
I've been up that street 
And I know what's waiting for me 
Just waiting 

Midnight, moonlight 
Day into day 
No escape I must stay 
Midnight, show me the way 
Show me the way 
Give me something to play 
Something to play 
To help me make the new day 

Take me out of the darkness 
Into the light 
I've no friends to stand by me 
Here in the night 
It's an affair of 
A sad and weary heart 
Take me out of the darkness 
Back to the start 

I just lay down wonderin' 
What to lay down 
Lately I can do it 
Every day undisturbed 
I think I know what 
But I just can't find out how 
The morning didn't show me 
What it was worth
