Midnight Summer Dream Lyrics

Woke up on a good day
And the world was wonderful
A midnight summer dream
Had me in its spell
I dreamt about an old man
Who sat and watched the rain all night
He couldn′t sleep a wink
As all the drops fell

He told me of the beauty
Hidden in our foreheads
And he told me of the ugliness
We show instead
And when we put a foot wrong
Do we know from all the pain?

A midnight summer dream
As he watched the rain

Then at midnight
He poured another drink and bent my ear
And after midnight
We sat up half the night or maybe more
And he began to tell me what it was all for

Woke up in an armchair
He had gone, I don't know where
Left me here to sit and look at the rain
Don′t remember much at all
But his words were echoing

A midnight summer dream

And then waking again
Maybe I'll never find him
Maybe he's gone forever
Maybe I′ll have to sit here
Won′t you one of one day pretty soon
Help me make it in my mind?
Show me somewhere else
Between wrong and right

So at midnight
If you can sleep then I will bend your ear
After midnight
We'll sit up half the night or maybe more
And I′ll begin to tell you what it is all for

I wake up on a good day
And the world feels wonderful
A midnight summer dream
Has me in its spell
