“What Follows After Midnight”
Copyright by Frank DeCenso, Jr.
(Draft)
I’m on a
highway leading somewhere,
[Seems I’ve
been this way before;]
Looking for a
sign to guide me,
To the one I loved before –
She left for some new dreamer,
Promised her
the stars above;
[There’s a
chance she’ll soon discover,]
Stardust
falls without real love.
CHORUS
What follows after midnight,
And the moon just shuts down?
There is always some old starlight,
If you look around.
There’s a
strong wind in this valley,
And it
carries whispered pain;
As I travel
I can hear her,
Dropping
tears like summer rain –
In the
distance burns a fire,
Burning low
with it’s cold flame;
There she’s
standing wet and lonely,
[Like the
past she’s still the same.]
CHORUS
What follows after midnight,
And the moon just shuts down?
There is always some old starlight,
If you look around.?
[BRIDGE]
Deep within
her's a tremble,
Is the end
now finally here?
Says she’ll
never chase no one,
‘Cause I’m
the one who cares;
I give
her my old promise,
If she
strays I’ll find her there…
CHORUS
What follows after midnight,
And the moon just shuts down?
There is always some old starlight,
If you look around.?
