The Temperance Movement – Midnight Black lyrics

Blind faith explorer, I'm on a mission impossible I know
But I got a little burnin' light
All the stories I told her, the final cut was the deepest one of all
Then she vanished clean out of sight

I hit the floor around 4:47 with the morning blues, crying like a puppy dog
It takes some time to come around, face the music gotta pay your dues
You're the only one I want

Last time tonight, that I'm gonna cry gotta put this right
I've been dying, girl I just ain't been feeling right
Yes I'm in trouble I know it, you shot me down, hurting like a heart attack
All over you yeah, my brown eyed girl
And yes I swear her hair was midnight black

Don't say it's over, I'm goin' walking baby why don't you come along?
We'll steal a little precious time
Won't you give me your number, so I can bug you I'll be calling you up all night
With all my rhythm and my rhyme

I held the angel in a headlock honey till the sun broke through
Fighting with the lord above
He hit me square in the heart, like a kiss with a fist I knew
Trying to learn me how to love

Last time tonight, that I'm gonna cry gotta put this right
I've been dying, girl I just ain't been feeling right
Yes I'm in trouble I know it, you shot me down, hurting like a heart attack
All over you yeah, my brown eyed girl
And yes I swear her hair was midnight black

I hit the floor around 4:47 with the morning blues, crying like a puppy dog
It takes some time to come around, face the music gotta pay your dues
You're the only one I want

Last time tonight, that I'm gonna cry gotta put this right
I've been dying, girl I just ain't been feeling right
Yes I'm in trouble I know it, you shot me down, hurting like a heart attack
All over you yeah, my brown eyed girl
And yes I swear her hair was midnight black
Midnight black
Midnight black
Midnight black
Midnight black
