Spring Standards, The - Goodbye Midnight lyrics

rate me

I'm chalking down the road

For the queen of the night

She won't take a nickel or dime

To lose this fight

Wrong or Right

14th Street is a beat-up bliss

It's cold and the city's slicken

From your kiss

And it's hit or miss

I'm bending backwards for you honey

I'll be the one to hold your sad salt eyes

I'll find a way to make things funny

There'll be nothing left of me

But it's all right

Goodbye Midnight

I press her to my lips

Breathe her in so deep

I can't quit my baby just yet

'Cause I'm in need

And she's nicotine

There's a busy highway

I'm as steady as a freight train

I'm real slow

But I get what I need

At my own speed

I'm bending backwards for you honey

I'll be the one to hold your sad salt eyes

I'll find a way to make things funny

There'll be nothing left of me

But it's all right

Goodbye Midnight

I take that picture off the wall

And smash it

Rip the frame off

And start again

Sundyed paper left behind

Tell stories

Where empty faces

Used to shine

5 4 3 2 1

It seems the the whole thing is over

Before it begun

Like the setting sun

It shines the lines

Through the crooked blinds

Then I call retreat to the dark

Where it came from

I'm bending backwards for you honey

I'll be the one to hold your sad salt eyes

I'll find a way to make things funny

There'll be nothing left of me

But it's all right

Goodbye Midnight
