Countdown to Midnight

There’s a full moon out tonight

The air is cold and my head is light

The house feels big and empty

My heart is sad and lonely

 

A half hour to midnight

It’s almost time

For the day to end and the clock to chime

I lay in bed, tucked safe and tight

 

I write by a torch

I write bout a lot

A baby in a cot

A beat down church

 

My mate’s deep snores

Are making me sore

My torch goes dim

My patience wears thin
