Midnight

Not a sound from the pavement

Has the moon lost her memory

She is smiling alone
In the lamplight
The withered leaves collect at my feet

And the wind begins to moan

Memory
All alone in the moonlight

I can smile at your days
Life was beautiful then

I remember the time I knew what happiness was

Let the memory live again

Every street lamp seems to beat

A fatalistic warning

Someone mutters and the street lamp gutters
And soon it will be morning

Daylight

I must wait for the sunrise

I must think of a new life

And I mustn't give in

When the dawn comes
Tonight will be a memory too

And a new day will begin

Burnt out ends of smoky days

The still cold smell of morning

A street lamp dies, another night is over

Another day is dawning

Touch me,
It is so easy to leave me
All alone with my memory
Of my days in the sun

If you touch me,
You'll understand what happiness is

Look, a new day has begun
