Midnight At The End Of Time

They say it will soon be over

That it's just a teenage thing

They dont know what they're saying

Last night I gave you my ring

 

Its like I'd known you forever

We seem to go back to Creation

To the shrine of Adam and Eve

We send our invitation

 

Midnight at the end of time

Midnight at the end of time

I'll love you at least until

Midnight at the end of time

 

Youth is decried as immature

Parents think they know better

I read more common sense

Scrawled in your very first letter

 

Our combined wisdom is huge

We don't need any advocate

Old people tell us to slow down

When the truth is, we cant wait

 

Midnight at the end of time

Midnight at the end of time

I'll love you at least until

Midnight at the end of time

 

I cant imagine you getting old

Your face will always be young

With our love to keep us entwined

We'll never ever come unstrung

 

Dont listen to your mother

She's trying to pull us apart

There's only one spirit to listen to

Thats the beating of my heart

 

"Quit her, she's dying" your parents cry

Our bonds so strong you'll never die

 

Midnight at the end of time

Midnight at the end of time

I'll love you at least until

Midnight at the end of time

Hi Simon! Liked this one, better late than never! Loved the refrain.
Also' there's only one spirit to listen to, that's the beating of my heart.'
Deep sentiments expressed with an apparent lightness, but underneath that's not the message.
