'Round midnight, midnight It begins to tell I do pretty well, till after sundown Suppertime I'm feelin' sad But it really gets bad 'Round midnight Memories always start 'round midnight Haven't got the heart to stand those memories When my heart is still

And I fly solo I had a dream that the whole world was staring at me And your gonna tell all the people about the fun you used to have It hurts when it don't last So I'm a spread my wings and head for the sky I woke up and wasn't no one there, Wasn't no

Fly...learn to 'Cause I'm a liar, I conspired, I'm a liar... Fly...wait to Father, tell me somethin' Where do bad men go when they die? And mother says you'll go there but Wings for her and I and I don't mind Cause I have always wanted to learn to...

Tell them they've had their day, it's someone else's tomorrow Have you ever been baptized in the cool winter water On a Sunday morning when the sky was gray? You filed out of the churchyard, so cold it was silver To gold, tan, and blue cars, and the cars

If I was waiting on you to tell me then I would never know I ain't have nobody there, so I had to tell myself when to go I ain't have nobody there so I had to tell myself when to go I know a lot of people but I don't fuck with a lot Got me standing here

When you said you needed time And prayed you’d stay And I told myself that it’d be fine I wish I could have just said somethin’, oh I heard goodbye I watched you fade away But I turned my head and closed my eyes I could tell by the way you kissed my lips

Somebody have mercy And tell me what is wrong with me When I think about how she do me, The tears fall down like rain, like rain I'm goin' down to the bus station With a suitcase in my hand, yes I am With a matchbox hole in my clothes, yes I am Sometimes

Row, row your boat 'Cause I've got my own boat Even if the whole world knows I don't give a damn about what they think I don't have to stand up to your gun I don't have to sit down when you say Tell me I'm overboard The truth is you just want to see me

Tell me when did you stop loving me? When did you stop loving me? How long have I been a memory? I've gotta know for my own sanity Was it that night that you stayed out until dawn? You know that night has haunted me for so long Or was your love already

And go back home when the day is done Well I hope you do Then we'll say goodbye Do you like me? Cause if you like me Then I think I'm gonna to have to like you too We'll share our things And have some fun If you tell me
