All the midnights of the world lyrics

Because I turned my eye toward you

Because I seek your hand

Every other woman envies you

And me, every other man

A massive circle of jealousy

Is coming round again

Those prickly fingered scallywags

That masquerade as friends

Make a promise this very night

That they will no longer pose

A threat to either one of us

Then let the chapter close

For all the midnights, in the world

This one will serve us better

If you choose to be my girl

Like Susan's petals

A wonderful life, the two of us shall lead

The children of the future've all the

Spiritual food they need

The secrets that the ones before

With grace, they've come and shown

Together with love for one another

We shall make them known

With the love and happy days

I number the grains of sand

Writing twelve times ever more

If I could be your man

Amethyst and rubies

Crystals and black pearls

I trade them all, just to spend with you

All the midnights, in the world

All the midnights, in the world
