Midnight Sun Lyrics
As I watch you flickering slowly
In the shadows, nothing to hold
It’s as if I don’t recall our time before
And would it be so wrong
Not to remember?
There are times I look at you differently
Like I’d never seen you before
Funny after all we’ve done
You could be someone I don't know at all
Don’t know you at all
Catch me I don’t want to fall
But you pull the mountain from under me
Look, I’m dangling up in the blue
And it’s a cartoon coyote eternity
Before I drop down to you
What am I supposed to do now?
There is something beautiful shining
In the far off night of your hair
Funny for a while it seemed to come from the sky
But it’s in your head
Yes it fills your head
You and I don't always fly
Let me go I want to fall
Deep into the dark
But I'll come back to you.
And I'll always know how to find you
'Cos you shine like the midnight sun.
In the shadows, nothing to hold
It’s as if I don’t recall our time before
And would it be so wrong
Not to remember?
Like I’d never seen you before
Funny after all we’ve done
You could be someone I don't know at all
Don’t know you at all
Look, I’m dangling up in the blue
And it’s a cartoon coyote eternity
Before I drop down to you
What am I supposed to do now?
In the far off night of your hair
Funny for a while it seemed to come from the sky
But it’s in your head
Yes it fills your head
Let me go I want to fall
Deep into the dark
But I'll come back to you.
'Cos you shine like the midnight sun.
Simon wrote these lyrics to/for/about John when John left the band. It is pretty self-explanatory if you know that. Losing a friend, someone you depended on for so long, and now, you don't even recognize them any more. And then they drift away, leave you...
This and Buried in the Sand are heartbreaking when you know the backstory. Thank god John came back.
