You're on my "middle of the night" mind

It sure ain't the first time

I've been loving you all my life

You know it's going to be a long night.

Ain't no sleeping when your heart breaks

I've been lying here wide awake

It don't tell you how hard it can ache

Just lying in the moonlight with my mistakes.

You're on my "middle of the night" mind

And, baby, I don't want to cry

I've done enough of that to last me a lifetime

But I've been missing that light in your eyes, oh...

How could I have known?

And I can feel the lonely in my bones, oh, oh, oh...

You're on my "middle of the night" mind

I've been staring at the black sky

For some reason those stars don't shine

The same way since we said goodbye, bye.

Caravan moving on the train tracks

I can hear it rolling past

Maybe this one's bringing you back

Sometimes I can tell myself that, oh...

Truth be be told I know somewhere in my soul

You won't come home, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh...

You're on my "middle of the night" mind

Ain't gonna be the last time

I'll be loving you all my life

It's going to be another long night.
