Midnight Rendevous - The Slackers

It will soon be after midnight

Long since the sun has gone down

I’ll be waitin' by your window

'Til your feet they touch the ground

We’ll hitch a ride down to the station

To catch a bus car train

Leaving trouble far behind us

And let the distance do the playing

For can’t you see I love you woman

Since I first laid eyes on you (yeah…)

For tonight we’ll be together

There ain’t nothin' they can do

On this midnight rendezvous

Before that day I was pre destined

To ride that same old lonesome track

Drifting right was my direction

Like smoke ejected from a stack

But from the time I came across you

My heart did burn with desire

With just a smile you held me captive

And set my world on fire

Please take a chance on us now, baby

If they will come to see it through (yeah…)

(For tonight we’ll be together

There ain’t nothin' they can do

On this midnight rendezvous

They’re still marring our misfortunes

Laying all we have to waste

Trying to keep us separated

The moments lost can’t be replaced

How can I promise you tomorrow

If I haven’t got today?

But with some luck we’ll surely make it

In love (???) words can convey

Let’s steal away now from the sorrow

And kiss goodbye the life we knew (yeah…)

For tonight we’ll be together

There ain’t nothin' they can do

On this midnight rendezvous

For tonight we’ll be together

There ain’t nothin' they can do

On this midnight rendezvous
