   Midnight Black

 

 

  Blind faith explorer, I'm on a mission impossible I know,

  But I got a little burnin' light.

  Of the stories I told her, the final cut was the deepest one of all,

  Then she vanished clean outta sight.

  

  I hit the floor around 4.47 with the mornin' blues, cryin like a puppy dog.

  It takes some time to come out, face the music gotta pay your dues,

  You're the only one I want.

  

  Best time tonight, then I'm gonna cry gonna put this right,

  I been dyin, girl I just ain't been feelin right.

  Yes I'm in trouble I know it, you shot me down, burnin like a heart attack,

  Out over you yeah, my brown eyed girl,

  I guess I swear her hair was midnight black.

   

  

  

  Don't say it's over, I'm goin' walking baby why don't you come along?

  And steal a little precious time.

  Baby gimme your number, so I can bug you I'll be callin' you up all night,

  With all my rythym all my rhyme.

  

  I held the angel in a headlock honey till the sun rose through,

  Fighting with The Lord above.

  He touched me square in the heart, like a kiss with a fist I knew,

  Tryin' to learn me how to love.

  

  Chorus, bridge, chorus.
