  • I'm searching for phrases
    To sing your praises
    I need to tell someone
    It's soon after midnight
    And my day has just begun

    A girl named Honey
    Took my money
    She was passing by
    It's soon after midnight
    And the moon is in my eye

    My heart is cheerful
    It's never fearful
    I've been down on the killing floors
    I'm in no great hurry
    I'm not afraid of your fury
    I've faced stronger walls than yours

    Charlotte's a harlot
    Dresses in scarlet
    Mary dresses in green
    It's soon after midnight
    And I've got a date with the fairy queen

    They chirp and they chatter
    What does it matter?
    They lie and dine in their blood
    Two timing Slim
    Who's every heard of him?
    I'll drag his corpse through the mud

    It's now or never
    More than ever
    When I met you I didn't think you do
    Its soon after midnight
    And I don't want nobody but you Writer/s: BOB DYLAN
