Song lyrics, after a fashion

[jeanvieve]

Well, I can hear a melody anyway. A song for hours apart..

Midnight
You're so far away
Gazing at a sunny sky
Or are there clouds within your eyes
At midnight
When I see your words
They make me smile and make me sad
That I'm not there when things are bad

And one o' clock
With my house asleep
I look through windows at the night
All wondering if you're all right
At one o' clock
Are you working yet?
Or are you sleeping in today
Or dressing up for church to pray

So many hours between our worlds
So many minutes of the night
So many battles you must fight
Won't you pretend I'm by your side?

At two am
As I touch the phone
I sigh and wonder if you're there
To answer this, my spirit's prayer
It's two am
As I write this song
I sing it to you silently
To tell you that you're here with me

Or three o clock
And I'm up too late
I try to lie down in my bed
And dream of you beneath my head
Like every night
When you're far away
I sleep through morning's cruel light
And hope to hear your voice tonight
And every night.
