Midnight Lyrics
I work the mill.
The same as my father and my brothers, too.
My mother works there.
She has ever since she left school.
But today they all got let go.
I guess I'll have to keep this job...
Tonight
I looked at the stars burning bright.
An empty house
a lot like ours
and never more.
And I'll let go
with nothing left to show.
What once slept hard
will come down
at midnight
People above us don't come up this river no more.
This town is like a stone.
We haven't seen the sun for days,
and I'm here working on my own
and I wish I could leave...
But tonight,
under the stars
the building's burning bright.
A heavy hope
that once was ours
and nevermore.
But I'll let go
with nothing left to show.
What once slept hard
will come down
at midnight...
But tonight,
we'll pull it away.
The stars'll be burning bright.
Nothing more
but this house
will tell the story.
And I'll let go with nothing left to show.
What once slept hard
will come down
at midnight....
Ohhh...
The same as my father and my brothers, too.
My mother works there.
She has ever since she left school.
But today they all got let go.
I guess I'll have to keep this job...
I looked at the stars burning bright.
An empty house
a lot like ours
and never more.
with nothing left to show.
What once slept hard
will come down
at midnight
This town is like a stone.
We haven't seen the sun for days,
and I'm here working on my own
and I wish I could leave...
under the stars
the building's burning bright.
A heavy hope
that once was ours
and nevermore.
with nothing left to show.
What once slept hard
will come down
at midnight...
we'll pull it away.
The stars'll be burning bright.
Nothing more
but this house
will tell the story.
What once slept hard
will come down
at midnight....

I just wanted to let everyone I posted corrected lyrics to the poorly written ones online. And the morons at the new songmeanings and EMI (who don't own the lyrics anyway) posted the same incorrect version from another site instead of the one's I put together. Just wanted to let you all know I know these ones up are wrong, and I've already petitioned them to correct them, but who knows if they will.
[Here's a rewritten corrected version for anyone who cares. 99% correct. Also, love Megan Reilly's vocals on this.]
