Midnight Run 06:26
They say in a distance That your touch is close But with you in my sight I can hold you closer But for seven night and six days I'll wait for you Until the end of midnight No one is to break-down the rule No one is to break-down the rule… My darling is an antelope Hurt by a hunter The blame is mine Though we share the pain And as she goes with a broken heart No one is to deny The cause and longing That she carries within No one is to deny The longing that she carries within You didn't have to run You didn't have to run To leave this heart as it is Now my desires are chained in the past Frequenting old comforts and time Never wanting to live again Midnight run Midnight run The dust from your runaway path have settled In my eyes Yes they’ve settled in my eyes Oh yes they’ve Oh Midnight run And they never wanting to leave again And they never wanting to leave again They say in a distance That your touch is close But with you in my arms I will hold you closer But for seven night and six days I'll wait for you Until the end of midnight No one is to break-down the rule
