(+) Midnight Oil - Beds Are Burning
Don't have to hide anymore
from those dark rainy nights
he left at my door
with a note saying how
he would warm me
when those stormy
late-night hours looked over my shoulder
but those rainy night are coming to an end
the clouds are slowly lifting
I see starry skies again
I'll save that midnight oil
that i've been burning
starlight tells me that my luck is turning
those rainy night have had their final word
filled my head and heart until
nothing else was heard
I've tried sheltering from the stormy weather
but clouds drift in whenever we're together
Oh how i wished that clouds just might
have silver linings
I wonder why
I won't make a dash for the door
won't miss those rainy night
start longing for more
and yet his words still
com the haunt me
charm and taunt me
like drops of rain dancing before me
but those rainy night are coming to an end
the clouds are slowly lifting
I see starry skies again
I'll save that midnight oil
that i've been burning
starlight tells me that my luck is turning
those rainy night have had their final word
filled my head and heart until
nothing else was heard
but lately I've let those clouds drift by
biding my time 'til clearer skies
arrive to make hope out of heartache
so that I can look love in the eye
but still I wish each night clouds just might
have silver linings
I wonder why
