Midnight
Not a sound
from the pavement
Has the moon
lost her memory
She is smiling alone
In the lamplight
The withered leaves
collect at my feet
And the wind begins to moan
Memory
All alone in the moonlight
I can dream of the old days
Life was beautiful then
I remember the time I knew
what happiness was
Let the memory
live again
Every street lamp
seems to beat
a fatalistic warning
Someone mutters
And the street lamps sputters
And soon it will be morning
Daylight
I must wait for the sunrise
I must think of a new life
And I mustn't give in
When the dawn comes
Tonight will be a memory too
And a new day
will begin
Burnt out ends
of smokey days
The stale cold smell
of morning
A street lamp dies
Another night is over
Another day is dawning
Touch me
It's so easy to leave me
All alone with the memory
of my days in the sun
If you touch me
You'll understand
what happiness is
Look the new day has begun
