Wide Awake At Midnight

 

I'm wide awake at midnight, it's far too hot to sleep

I listen to the traffic as it goes by in the street

Can't wait until the morning, coz there's someone, I have to meet

 

I met him at the tram stop, I was trying to pay my fare

I almost bumped right into him, “Sorry, didn't see you there”

As he looked into my eyes I knew I didn't, have a prayer

 

Sometimes fate steps in and deals a winning hand

They say it's all there in the stars but I don't understand

Does the sun shine on the righteous ? Well that's not for me to say

We all deserve a little luck, guess some just came my way

I'm wide awake at midnight, It's been a really good day

 

There's a smell of Jasmine, floating in the air tonight

I hear the sound of a clarinet, so delicate and bright

Then Sleep takes me away, and I fall towards the morning light
