After Midnight
Ralf Gum Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When the world is left to sleep
I dig in me
After midnight, when I want to close my eyes
I release the doubt of day and focus on night
Hearing whispers in the trees
As the wind blows over me
To comfort me
As I let go of the day
Stressful layers fade away
Diving deep into the night
That holds me tight
After midnight
I cleanse my soul
After midnight
To make me whole
After midnight
Reflect on me
After midnight
Where I should be
After midnight
I speak my thoughts
After midnight
What I was taught
After midnight
I lay to rest
After midnight
Forget about it
Oooh
Oooh
After midnight, The moon sings me a lullaby
Cleansing me of cloudiness, slalom and strife
I look for you, looking forward to
Our reunion each and every night
Hold me deeply, as you heal me
Of the past and present pain.
As I let go of the day
Stressful layers fade away
Diving deep into the night
That holds me tight
Hearing whispers in the trees
As the wind blows over me
Peacefulness throughout the night
To comfort me
After midnight
I cleanse my soul
After midnight
To make me whole
After midnight
Reflect on me
After midnight
Where I should be
After midnight
I speak my thoughts
After midnight
What I was taught
After midnight
I lay to rest
After midnight
Forget about it
Oooh
Oooh
