Midnight Angel
Osborne Brothers · Osborne Brothers 2 (1968-1974) [Bear Family] [1995]
You're a midnight angel at twelve is when you start
Looking for a victim to feed your hungry heart
You say you don't love me still I wait all alone
For my midnight angel to come home.
It seems I'll spend the lifetime between midnight and dawn
Watching from my window for a man to bring you home
Listening to the silence while waiting all alone
For my midnight angel to come home.
--- Instrumental ---
It seems I'll spend the lifetime between midnight and dawn
Watching from my window for a man to bring you home
Listening to the silence while waiting all alone
For my midnight angel to come home...
