The Chimes At Midnight

Sitting here thinking
By a high window
Lights are blinking
Down below

Some things never
Let you rest
The smell of her hair
Spread across my chest

The chimes of midnight
Beat the air
The chimes of midnight
Will take me there

Her dark eyes wept
Oh, how they shone
I watched her tears
Flow like wine

She leaned into me
And held me close
I thought  I heard her say
“We are the ghosts”

The chimes at midnight
Sound a hollow tone
The chimes at midnight
Are taking me home

Some things never
Let you be
Her walking to me
Out of the sea

The chimes at midnight
Ring out so clear
Now I’m ready
To disappear

You won’t see me
I’ll be on the air
The chimes at midnight
Are taking me there

From my high window
I’m stepping on to the air
