The midnight chorus
Came and whispered in my ear
"I'll take your love away
I'll make you disappear
You can't ignore us
We've been singing it for years"
When I lay my head down
When I close my eyes
The midnight chorus sings me a lullaby

I came alone, my empty home
I came alone tonight
It's such a waste, it's on my face
I came alone tonight

Now I'm sleeping in my clothes
I think nobody else knows
And I just want it to get better
But my baby ran away
She didn't have a lot to say
She didn't even read my letter

Wonder when at half past ten
Why I'm alone again
It's like I fell into a well
I'm by myself again

If I had just one more chance
One more night for my romance
I think that I could make it better
But my baby closed the door
No she don't want me anymore
It's like I never even met her

Oh midnight chorus
Please don't take it all away
Give my love back to me
Let me go another day
I know what came before us
I just want to stay
When I lay my head down
When I close my eyes
The midnight chorus sings me a lullaby
