Midnight Summer Dream
The Stranglers
Letra

Álbum: Feline ( 1982)

Intro:

Verse:

Woke up on a good day 

     And the world was wonderful 

A midnight summer dream had me in its spell 

I dreamt about an old man 

Sat and watched the rain all night 

He couldn t sleep a wink as all the drops fell 

Pre-Chorus

He told me of the beauty 

      Hidden in our foreheads 

He told me of the ugliness 

We show instead 

And when we put a foot wrong, do we learn 

From all the pain? 

A midnight summer dream as he watched the rain 

Chorus: 

  Then at midnight he poured another drink 

And bent my ear 

  After midnight we sat up half the night 

Or maybe more 

And he began to tell me what it was all for 

Verse:

I woke up in an armchair 

He had gone, I don t know where 

Left me there to sit and look at the rain 

Don t remember much at all 

But his words were echoing 

A midnight summer dream and then wake again 

Pre-Chorus

Maybe I ll never find him 

Maybe he s gone forever 

Maybe I ll have to sit here 

  Watching the weather 

One thing s pretty certain, helped me 

Make it in the night 

Showed me somewhere else between wrong and right 

<i>Chorus: 

  So at midnight if you can t sleep 

Then I can bend your ear 

  After midnight we ll sit up half the night 

Or maybe more 

And I ll begin to tell you what it is all for 

Instrumental: 

Verse:

I Wake up on a good day 

      And the world feels wonderful 

A Midnight summer dream has me in its spell
