Midnight Prayer Lyrics

Jimmy White Midnight Prayer

Time, trains passing by, in the blink of an eye
I’m left grasping at air
I’d walk a million hard miles, to see one of your smiles
And lay my soul bare

I lay me down at night to pray
In a dream that cannot stay
I see your face so far away
In a midnight prayer

Lost, in a cloud drifting on, in a moment it’s gone
Still I’m in the same place
Trains, from the stations they go, mine’s the wrong one I know
Cause I can’t see your face

I lay me down at night to pray
In a dream that cannot stay
I see your face so far away
In a midnight prayer

Reaching for what I have missed
Lips that I have never kissed
I do not care for open doors
Unless this one,
Unless this one is yours

I lay me down at night to pray
Another midnight prayer
