Al Stewart Midnight Rocks Lyrics

Midnight Rocks Lyrics

I was making my way through the wasteland
The road into town passes
through
I was changing the radio stations
With my mind on you
Oh your
friends call you "Lily Paloma"
But that's not the way that you
are
It's too much of a gentle misnomer
For a shooting star

But you
and me baby
I saw you there 
Straight away I knew
There's really no
hiding
I'll tell you right now
What we're gonna do
We'll go collecting
the days
Putting the moments away
You're on my mind like a
Song on the
Radio

I remember the first time I saw you
Alone in the dark with a
drink
With a candle flame burning before you
And your thoughts closed
in
You were staring out into the distance
Not seeming to hear what I
said
Why did you put up such resistance
Like all the lights are
red

'Cause you and me baby
I saw you there 
Straight away I
knew
There's really no hiding
I'll tell you right now
What we're gonna
do
We'll go collecting the days
Putting the moments away
You're on my
mind like a
Song on the Radio

I don't know what it was that was
painful
But sometimes it's there in your face
There are times when you
just look disdainful
Of the human race
Ah, but then on the wings of
emotion
We circle each other in flight
Till together we roll like the
ocean
In its bed at night

'Cause you and me baby
I saw you there

Straight away I knew
There's really no hiding
I'll tell you right
now
What we're gonna do
We'll go collecting the days
Putting the
moments away
You're on my mind like a
Song on the Radio
You're on my
mind like a
Song on the Radio
