Lyrics
I was walking after midnight
Three AM to be exact
Crossing city limits
A heavy coat upon my back
Counting strangers as I passed them
All were hurried, eyes ahead
There is no trusting after midnight
When we're just looking for our bed
But I stared out from the overpass
On the downtown haze
Hailed a cab and headed toward it
In a bleary daze
The driver was slipping out
Could hardly keep awake
I prodded him with bony finger
And we rode swerving to someplace
Riding
I pointed to the densest neon
Made a motion to depart
When I stepped out the streets were empty
I let the color filled my heart
And with it full I asked forgiveness
With it full I asked for strength
I asked it of the swirling neon
And let my wish list turn to blank
It was enough to pose the question
I expected no reply
But spun around found my way home
And hit the sheets by morning time
