Then I can bend your ear
Sat and watched the rain all night
Maybe I'll have to sit here
He couldn't sleep a wink as all the drops fell
Maybe he's gone forever
I woke up in an armchair
And he began to tell me what it was all for
A midnight summer dream and then wake again
Or maybe more
And at midnight if you can't sleep
Left me there to sit and look at the rain
Showed me somewhere else between wrong and right
One thing's pretty certain helped me
And bent my ear
And the world feels wonderful
But his words were echoing
Maybe I'll never find him
After midnight we sat up half the night
Or maybe more
Watching the weather
Then at midnight he poured another drink
He had gone I don't know where
After midnight we'll sit up half the night
Don't remember much at all
He told me of the ugliness
Wake up on a good day
And when we put a foot wrong do we learn
From all the pain
Hidden in our foreheads
He told me of the beauty
I dreamt about an old man
And I'll begin to tell you what it is all for
We show instead
A midnight summer dream had me in its spell
A midnight summer dream as he watched the rain
Make it in the night
