Mainstreet
Midnight Memories: A Tale of Longing on Mainstreet
Lyrics
I remember standing on the corner at midnight
I have a memory of being on the street corner at midnight.
Trying to get my courage up
I was attempting to gather the courage to do something.
There was this long lovely dancer in a little club downtown
There was an attractive dancer in a small downtown club.
I loved to watch her do her stuff
I enjoyed observing her performance.
Through the long lonely nights she filled my sleep
During the long, lonely nights, she occupied my thoughts.
Her body softly swaying to that smoky beat
Her body moved gracefully to a smoky beat.
Down on Mainstreet
This all took place on Mainstreet.
In the pool halls, the hustlers and the losers
There were pool halls with hustlers and losers.
I used to watch 'em through the glass
I observed them through a glass barrier.
Well I'd stand outside at closing time
I would stand outside when the club closed to see her pass by.
Just to watch her walk on past
Unlike other women, she appeared young and sweet.
Unlike all the other ladies, she looked so young and sweet
She walked alone down an empty street.
As she made her way alone down that empty street
This was still on Mainstreet.
Down on Mainstreet
(Reiteration of the Mainstreet setting.)
And sometimes even now, when I'm feeling lonely and beat
Even now, when I feel lonely, I reminisce about those times.
I drift back in time and I find my feet
I mentally go back in time and regain my footing.
Down on Mainstreet
This reflection takes place on Mainstreet.
Down on Mainstreet
(Reiteration of the Mainstreet setting.)
