On a Midnight Street Songtext

von Matthew and the Atlas

I'm lost on an evening tide
A red ocean into a northern sky
And the deep water moves like gray ribbons on
The wind.
I've always seen the beauty in it.
It's a slow change, it's hard to reconize it
In the mist of the modern age
Always dark in the dawn
Al... ways in the dawn.
As the light shown
We were living in the dark
Now the thrill is gone.
Yeah we couldn't find a spark
In that failing light
We were pulling at the seams
Yeah it seemed to me
We were living in a dream
We were living in a ... dream
See I don't want to let her down
It's a fear in the dark
I want to be around
To see my daughter grow older
In a world that still has some beauty
It's a siren on a midnight street
When noones listening it's hard to compete
For each man's meaning is as large as the world he's living in
The world he's living in
As the light it showed
We were living in the dark.
Now the thrill is gone
Yeah we could't find a spark
In that failing light
We were pulling at the seams
Yeah it seemed to me
We were living in a dream
We were living in a ... dream
We were living in the dark
Yeah we couldn't find a spark
In that failing light, we were pulling at the seams
Yeah it seemed to me
We were living in a dream
We were living in a ...
As the light shown, we were living it the dark
Now the thrill is gone
We could't find a spark
In that failing light we were pulling at the seams
Yeah it seemed to me
We were living in a dream
We were living in a ... dream
