Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Lemon, see-through in the sunlight
She wore lemon but never in the daylight
She's gonna make you cry
She's gonna make you whisper and moan
But when you're dry, she draws her water from the stone
And I feel like I'm slowly, slowly, slowly slippin' under
And I feel like I'm holding on to nothing
[Verse 2]
She wore lemon to colour in the cold grey night
She had heaven and she held on so tight
[Verse 3]
A man makes a picture
A moving picture
Through the light projected
He can see himself up close
A man captures colour
A man likes to stare
He turns his money into light to look for her
And I feel like I'm drifting, drifting, drifting from the shore
And I feel like I'm swimming out to her
[Chorus]
Midnight is where the day begins
Midnight is where the day begins
[Verse 4]
A man builds a city
With banks and cathedrals
A man melts the sand, so he can see the world outside
You're gonna meet her there
A man makes a car
She's your destination
And builds a road to run them on
You gotta get to her
A man dreams of leaving, but he always stays behind
She's imagination
And these are the days when our work has come asunder
And these are the days when we look for something other
[Chorus]
Midnight is where the day begins
Midnight is where the day begins
Midnight is where the day begins
Midnight is where the day begins
[Verse 5]
And these are the days when our work has come asunder
And these are the days when we look to each other
And I feel like I'm drifting, drifting, drifting from the shore
And I feel like I'm swimming out to her
