The Midnight Eye

Does the midnight wonder if the day will come,

Wonder like I wonder if I’ll come all undone?

And I wanna be the one who comes undone

So full up on mystery, beauty, smiles and suffering that I can’t see

Where you stop and we become the only ones

And the future is our face reflecting the eyes of stars

And endless space.

From a midnight eye I can see the disguise

Of my ambitions inevitable fall from the rise

And I wonder how I’ll fill my pockets and still

Count my wealth as unity with the passions that I need to fulfill me

Will always dreaming of success destroy my best

Years and gifts and honesty, rob me of humility,

Just tell me.

Lying in bed away from the daylight cares

I watch the dark knowing a ceiling is there

And the way I’m gonna die is on my mind

Will it be with dignity after loves and lives of plenty, will it be

On a crimson night sunset like my insides

Or the body of lake, cold and calm and separate

From ocean and sky.
