When You're Not Around Lyrics

It's the middle of the night

And the pale moonlight

Is locked in mortal combat

With an old street light

They been goin' round and round

With the mist on the ground

And I'm one weary spectator

Afraid to make a sound

Yeah, I'm one weary lonely spectator

When you're not around

This is how it is…this is how it is

When you're not around

It's the middle of the night

And I'm waitin' for the light

And I'm squeezing myself

To make sure I'm still alive

Somewhere in the darkness

I believe in something

That I can't quite put my finger on

But it keeps me hanging on

In spite of everything that's gone wrong

I'm still holding on

And this is what it's like…

In the middle of the night….

When you're not around

It's the middle of the night

And the pale moonlight

Is locked in mortal combat

With an old street light

And this is what it's like…

In the middle of the night….

When you're not around

And this is what it's like…

In the middle of the night….

When you're not around
