On A Midnight Street - Matthew And The Atlas

I’m lost on an evening tide

A red ocean into a northern sky

And the deep water moves like grey ribbons on a wind

I’ve always seen the beauty in it

It’s a slow change, it’s hard to recognize it

And the myths of the modern age always darken the door

Always the door!

Well the light shone, but we were living in the dark

Now the thrill has gone, yeah we couldn’t find a spark

In that failing light, we were pulling at the seams

Yeah it seemed to me, we were living in a dream

We were living in a dream

See I don’t wanna let her down

It’s a fear in the dark

I want to be around to see my daughter grow older in a world that still has

some beauty

It’s a siren on a midnight street

When no one’s listening, it’s hard to compete

For each man’s meaning is as large as the world he’s living in

The world he’s living in!

Well the light shone, but we were living in the dark

Now the thrill has gone, yeah we couldn’t find a spark

In that failing light, we were pulling at the seams

Yeah it seemed to me, we were living in a dream

We were living in a dream

We were living in the dark

Yeah, we couldn’t find a spark

In that failing light, we were pulling at the seams

Yeah it seemed to me, we were living in a dream

We were living in a

Well the light shone, but we were living in the dark

Now the thrill has gone, yeah we couldn’t find a spark

In that failing light, we were pulling at the seams

Yeah it seemed to me, we were living in a dream

We were living in a dream
