Well I walk a road of broken glass
I see you smile as you dance past
I've never been so far from my home
Well I right my lines and I play my part
There's no ink like the blood from a broken heart
Don't let me sing my lines alone
I've been to heaven and I got barred
For singing love is sweet but love is hard
Just say you'll see me too
Somewhere in this midnight blue
Well you look at me like love was a crime
Like I don't have the money to buy your time
If that's all true then I'll be on my way
And I'll take my coat and I'll take my leave
And I'll rip my heart from off my sleeve
Then I hear your voice calling me to stay
I've been to heaven and I got barred
For singing love is sweet but love is hard
Just say you'll see me too
Somewhere in this midnight blue
When we met by the bridge I heard the clock tower ring
I heard the music of the river and an angel sing
Nearer than my thoughts closer than my blood
I hear a voice in the distance, did you call my name?
I can't make it out through the biblical rain
Will we meet on the other side of the flood
I've been to heaven and I got barred
For singing love is sweet but love is hard
Just say you'll see me too
Somewhere in this midnight blue.
