MARTHA WAINWRIGHT - In The Middle Of The Night lyrics

rate me

In the middle of the night

Comes a knockin' at my door

There's a limousine outside

And I know who it's for

And I've heard it being read

And I heard it being said

Oh that the comfort in your head

And I wonder if it doesn't create

A sense of shame

In the middle of the night

Comes a knockin' at my door

There's a limousine outside

And I know who it's for

And you're leaning on your will in your heart

As you walk to the top of the hill

And you hope the will in your mind

Does not jump from the edge to decline

With a sense of shame

It was a time before the last

And we did not give up

And I threw you on the ground

And we did not get up

And I don't know why

And I don't know why

But the tears in your eyes

It made me want to cry

With a sense of shame

It was a time before the last

We did not make up

And I threw you on the ground

And we did not get up

But I don't know why

And I don't know why

There's something in your eyes

It made me want to cry

With a sense of shame

You meet me heather deep

I bury your heart on my knees

All the time

In the middle of the night

Comes a knockin' at my door

There's a limousine outside

And I know who it's for
