We Shall Wear Midnight

You made me older than my years
 I am young and barely grown
 And when I cry, I cry your tears
 for I have no life of my own.
 Why don't you write me some candlelight
 and wear your heart of gold?
 and I will wear these Aching, heartbreaking years
 "Til one day I shall wear midnight.
 And if you should scream from your darkest dream
 and in a whisper you'll hear me call?
 And for a while I'll be sweet sixteen
 and I'll have no power at all.
 Why don't you write me a moonlight night
 and wear your finest hour
 and I will wear these Aching, heartbreaking years
 Til one day I shall wear midnight
 I am young, you are old,
 but not heartless and cold
 I am warm from the love that you have shown
 but you conjured me up
 from your hat full of dreams
 and you keep me in a world of your own
 Why don't you write me a guiding light
 and wear your heart's desire?
 and I will wear these Aching, heartbreaking years
 Why don't you write me a guiding light and wear your heart's desire
 And I will wear these Aching, heartbreaking years, 'til one day
 I shall wear midnight
 And when you lay down on your final word,
 it will be no comfort to me.
 I have lived by the pen and I'll die by the sword,
 when it's time to set me free.
 Why don't you write me a gallant knight and wear your honour and sword
 And I will wear these Aching, heartbreaking years, 'til one day
 I shall wear midnight
 One day I shall wear midnight
 'Til one day we shall wear midnight
