Midnight Drifter Lyrics

Astroblue Express Midnight Drifter

When you dance with Illusions, drink with the past
Small and elusive, your words never last
Filling the empty, darkness and light
Twined and entangled, imitations of life

Echoes of silence, drifting too fast
Can anyone hear me, as I fall through the cracks?

All the lights are going out
All the shops have closed their doors
But I won't sleep tonight
I won't sleep tonight
Without you by my side

Everybody's gone to sleep
And I'm just walking the empty streets
I won't sleep tonight
I won't sleep tonight
Without you by my side

Slipping through moments, a hollow embrace
Can I find lightness, when I'm so out of place
Chasing shadows, in the twilight
Trying to find some peace of mind

Dreams for breakfast, tears for lunch
I'm a queen, I'm a beggar,
With a torn paper crown

All the lights are going out
All the shops have closed their doors
But I won't sleep tonight
I won't sleep tonight
Without you by my side

Everybody's gone to sleep
And I'm just walking the empty streets
I won't sleep tonight
I won't sleep tonight
Without you by my side
