Verse 1
Little dog crying just outside my window
Just enough so I can’t sleep at night
Can tell if he’s hungry, cold, or dying
Don’t know if he’ll bark or bite

Verse 2
Cross the street there’s an old women she’s dying
Stands by the window waiting for her breath to squeeze in
Bet she wonders, what’s the use in trying
Think she’s waiting for the other half to begin

Chorus
Standing in the middle watching the moonlight
Standing with my back against the wall
Got that feeling it’s just after midnight
Wondering when the magic will fall

Verse 3
Turn over the wind rolls past my shoulder
Lay awake another night in bed
As I lay there my mind begins to wander
I think of all the things I might have said

Chorus

Bridge
Certain mystery couldn’t happen like this
See the tears in your eyes it’s a sorrowful bliss
Just a function of a distant past
Something worthwhile to make my heart beat fast

(Instrumental chorus)

Verse 4
Dark cloud over the horizon gonna clear my mind
Take these eyes from me and watch them shine
It seems so long since our days been fine
We’ll head a long way from here to a better time

Repeat Chorus
