When me meet in the midnight hour,

Held for a moment amongst strangers,

Amongst the dripping trees, country girl.

You'll feel my body inside you,
C           D          G               F
We'll lie together for hours, time and tears.

               D                 G
Won't wait for evermore, for the time is now.
A       E              B         B7
And now is the time to explore,
C#            C#7                       F#
Why waste the world outside when you're sure?

Tonight at noon  (this last one is bearly audible but is the end of the song which maybe
                  wasn't supposed to have been heard?)
