"Midnight Lover" lyrics - LEON RUSSELL

[?] the dark [?] as the hobo sleeps
The lifeguard swims while the lady [?]
The [?key is dry] and this pier is hot
The water's fine, let's take a shot

Night is gray, you're so warm
The water's clear inside this [?]
The crowd's all gone, so stay awhile
The time has come, you know I'm wild

[Chorus:]
Well I'm a midnight lover
You better run for cover
They'll all fall down for the midnight lover, bye bye
Bye bye [6x]

Yeah the sun is gone, I've got your number
The night is calm its warm with summer
Fog is in, fire is bright
Let's fall asleep and spend the night

And the lights are out, I feel all right
Aw you're looking good, tonight's the night
The moon is out, and you've got the stuff
We're gonna keep it up 'til you had enough

[Chorus:]
'Cause I'm a midnight lover
You better run for cover
They'll all fall down for the midnight lover

[Instrumental bridge]

The night is gray, you're so warm
The water's clear inside the storm
The crowd's all gone, so stay awhile
The time has come, you know I'm wild

And the sun is gone, I've got your number
The night is coming, it's warm with summer
The fog is in, fire is bright
Let's fall asleep and spend the night

[Chorus:]
'Cause I'm a midnight lover
You better run for cover
'Til they all fall down for the midnight lover

[Outro - ad libs]
