Nearly Midnight

The moon is high
 There's a vale of cloud
 Like a wedding dress
 A funeral shroud
 And the land lies sleeping
 Stark and still
 Chain of lights
 On the darkened hills
 And it's nearly midnight
 And I'm nearly home
 And I'm travelling down
 This road alone
 Snow and shadow
 Blue moon light
 Farmhouse window
 Warm and bright
 Promised shelter
 From the winter wind
 Absolution
 For a passing sin
 And it's nearly midnight
 And I'm nearly home
 And I'm travelling down
 This road alone
 On a pilgrim journey through the night
 The distant stars, winter bright
 In the darkened world and this road I'm on
 You are the light a-coming down
 On a silver journey through the night
 The distant stars, winter bright
 In the darkened world and this road I'm on
 You are the light a-coming down
 Lake lies silent
 Still as stone
 Hard as rock
 White as bone
 And the telephone poles
 Stagger drunken home
 Down the twisted roads
 Of the great unknown
 And it's nearly midnight
 And I'm nearly home
 And I'm travelling down
 This road alone
 And it's nearly midnight
 And I'm nearly home
 And I'm travelling down
 This road alone
