Midnight Again (Chris Hillman)


And it's midnight again, lookin' to find a good friend
I was walkin' the street all alone
Don't know where you're goin' or where you belong
And it's the same old shuffle on down the street
It's times like this that I really don't need

Just another Saturday night
I can feel my composure slippin' from sight
Rain started fallin', the chances were slim
That I could make my escape and start over again
This loneliness is slowly killing me
It's times like this when it's so hard to see

You know we've all felt the pain
Cryin'out your Saviour's holy name
Salvation 'round the corner beckoning you
Through the harder side of the night
To the emptiness of dawn's early light
Another place and time that I once knew

Like a working man who's been down on his luck
Reaching for the strength to pull himself up
From the back water alleys to the neon above
Survival is easy when you're livin' on love
This night life ain't gonna let you win
Deceivers, believers, won't you let me come in 

'cause it's midnight again, lookin' to find a good friend
Walking the streets all alone
Don't know where you're going or where you belong
It's the same old shuffle on down the street
It's times like this that I really don't need

Oooh
