Midnight and Lonesome
Midnight Reflections: A Soulful Journey Through Solitude
Lyrics
There's a world less moon watchin' tonight
There's a world with a lesser moon present tonight.
There's a garden that's left to grow wild
There's a neglected garden allowed to grow wild and untamed.
There's a sound with no name
There's an unidentified sound.
When a far away train
When a distant train emits a sorrowful cry.
Cries like an unloved child
The train's cry resembles the sound of an unloved child.
The paint on the wall is peeling away
The paint on the wall is peeling off.
There's a photograph that fades on the shelf
There's a fading photograph placed on a shelf.
The memory stays on of a love that's gone
The memory of a departed love lingers.
I'm dancing by myself
The speaker dances alone in solitude.
Oh why, why I want to know
The speaker expresses a desire to understand why.
When she left me no where to go
Feeling abandoned with nowhere to turn after the departure of a loved one.
Why, why tell me my friend
The speaker seeks reasons from a friend for the situation.
It's midnight and lonesome again
The setting is midnight, and the speaker feels lonely once more.
Instrumental
Instrumental break in the song.
The moons still lonely I wonder sometime
The moon remains lonely, prompting contemplation about the train's cry.
If that's why the train had to cry
Speculation arises about a potential link between the moon's loneliness and the train's cry.
So I ask why out loud there's no answer now
The speaker voices their questions aloud without expecting an immediate answer.
I'm just talking to the sky
The speaker talks to the sky, possibly seeking solace or understanding.
Now morning it's time to get ready
Morning arrives, signaling the need to prepare for the day.
Then the evening take off your shoes
Evening comes, signifying the time to relax and unwind.
Well you worked hard all day
Acknowledgment of hard work done during the day.
The suns gone away
The disappearance of the sun indicates the approach of night.
And midnight lays claim to the blues
Midnight claims the blues, bringing a sense of loneliness.
Why, why I want to know
The speaker expresses a desire to understand why.
She went left me no where to go
Feeling abandoned with nowhere to turn after the departure of a loved one.
Why, why won't tell me my friend
Seeking explanations from a friend for the situation.
It's midnight and lonesome again
The setting is midnight, and the speaker feels lonely once more.
Instrumental why, why I want to know
Instrumental break in the song.
She went left me no where to go
Feeling abandoned with nowhere to turn after the departure of a loved one.
Why, why won't you tell me my friend
Seeking explanations from a friend for the situation.
It's midnight and lonesome again
The setting is midnight, and the speaker feels lonely once more.
It's midnight and lonesome again
Reiteration of the feeling of loneliness at midnight.
