Midnight Black - The Temperance Movement

Blind faith explorer, I’m on a mission impossible I know

But I got a little burnin' light

All the stories I told her, the final cut was the deepest one of all

Then she vanished clean out of sight

I hit the floor around 4:47 with the morning blues, crying like a puppy dog

It takes some time to come around, face the music gotta pay your dues

You’re the only one I want

Last time tonight, that I’m gonna cry gotta put this right

I’ve been dying, girl I just ain’t been feeling right

Yes I’m in trouble I know it, you shot me down, hurting like a heart attack

All over you yeah, my brown eyed girl

And yes I swear her hair was midnight black

Don’t say it’s over, I’m goin' walking baby why don’t you come along?

We’ll steal a little precious time

Won’t you give me your number, so I can bug you I’ll be calling you up all night

With all my rhythm and my rhyme

I held the angel in a headlock honey till the sun broke through

Fighting with the lord above

He hit me square in the heart, like a kiss with a fist I knew

Trying to learn me how to love

Last time tonight, that I’m gonna cry gotta put this right

I’ve been dying, girl I just ain’t been feeling right

Yes I’m in trouble I know it, you shot me down, hurting like a heart attack

All over you yeah, my brown eyed girl

And yes I swear her hair was midnight black

I hit the floor around 4:47 with the morning blues, crying like a puppy dog

It takes some time to come around, face the music gotta pay your dues

You’re the only one I want

Last time tonight, that I’m gonna cry gotta put this right

I’ve been dying, girl I just ain’t been feeling right

Yes I’m in trouble I know it, you shot me down, hurting like a heart attack

All over you yeah, my brown eyed girl

And yes I swear her hair was midnight black

Midnight black

Midnight black

Midnight black
