Midnight

She lives in a sleepy little factory town
Where time don't mean a thing
She spends all day washing clothes
Her mind's a hundred miles away
She's thinkin' about a rendezvous
With a boy about half her age
When her husband leaves for the graveyard shift
This woman goes out to play

At midnight she'll be runnin'
Hidin' in shadows along the way
It's midnight and she'll be runnin'
To a man who will say
"I love you, I need you"

She found out it doesn't help to compalin
They always end up in a fight
And she wishes she could leave
And change her name
But the neighbours wouldn't think it right
So she quietly goes about her work

In a dull and common life
And she lives for a dream and a young man
Who somehow made it right

At midnight she'll be runnin'
Hidin' in shadows along the way
It's midnight and she'll be runnin'
To a man who will say
"I love you, I need you"

It's midnight and she'll be runnin'
Hidin' in shadows along the way
It's midnight and she'll be runnin'
To a man who will say
"I love you, I need you"
