Pushing Back Midnight |
LyricsLast night I heard you singingOn my old radio Singing about the sorrow That was feeding on your soul What was the cost of dragging That heavy ball and chain Was it a fair price for teaching The whole world about hard rain. Pushing back, pushing back, pushing back midnight Pushing back, pushing back, pushing back midnight! Saw your starry painting On a New York museum wall How'd you catch the stars dancing Looking thru a window so small. And what was the cost of choosing Your own time to die Was it far too much for showing us The stars are so alive. Pushing back, pushing back, pushing back midnight Pushing back, pushing back, pushing back midnight! Little book Iím reading, here's how it's gospel goes Heroes sometimes walk around in anti-hero clothes! So what's the use in trying The search somehow is cursed You can't catch a moonbeam If your shadow gets there first. And what is the cost of staying A lifetime in the light If you're seeing 20/20 In the middle of the night. Pushing back, pushing back, pushing back midnight Pushing back, pushing back, pushing back midnight! Was it a chance to walk alone beyond the light of day Or were you sent to shine at night and blow the dark away! Pushing back, pushing back, pushing back midnight Pushing back, Pushing back, pushing back, pushing back midnight! ©2002 Norm Gibb & Robert J. Conaway/PopBomb Music Publishing |
