Round Midnight

Tears you've shed today will pause Waiting until tomorrow Dreams of what could be Come close to me, timidly There's a brand new day in sight At that time: round about midnight Life's game of chance And you're one of the minor players Look for what you lost For days to come, harbour some Let your spirit start the fight At that time: round about midnight Every day's going to bring some sad times Every day's going to bring some glad times So take what you can of the glad times Don't measure your pleasure In nickels and dimes Look back on today and you'll know When you have been unhappy Tears done, chased away What might at night have their day Let your eyes put out their light At that time: round about midnight Round about midnight --- Round Midnight - Robert Wyatt
