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 lamp sputters

And soon it will be morning



Daylight 

I must wait for the sunrise

I must think of a new life

And I musn't give in 

When the dawn comes

Tonight will be a memory too

And a new day will begin



Burnt out ends of smoky 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 my memory

Of my days in the sun

If you touch me,

You'll understand what happiness is

Look, a new day has begun...
