# When the Midnight Calls
**
Daniel...
**
Daniel...
There's a road outside my window
Where the headlights come and go
And every time I hear the tires
I remember what I know
You were driving through the rainfall
You were coming home to me
Then a siren broke the silence
And you never reached our street
They told me you were gone
They told me time would heal
But every night when darkness falls
You somehow become real
When the midnight calls
I can hear you in the hall
Like a shadow through the doorway
Like you're coming home at all
And the cold wind moves the curtains
Though the windows all are closed
Then somewhere in the darkness
I hear the voice I loved the most
**
Daniel...
Oh, I swear you're calling me
From somewhere I can't see
I still leave your picture standing
By the telephone upstairs
And sometimes in the early hours
I can smell your perfume there
They say grief can make you hear things
They say memories can lie
But memories don't breathe beside you
Memories don't say goodnight
So tell me I'm imagining
The footsteps on the floor
Tell me why I hear your laughter
Just behind the bedroom door
When the midnight calls
I can hear you in the hall
Like a shadow through the doorway
Like you're coming home at all
And the cold wind moves the curtains
Though the windows all are closed
Then somewhere in the darkness
I hear the voice I loved the most
**
Daniel...
Oh, I swear you're calling me
From somewhere I can't see
I went back to where it happened
Where the flowers line the road
I screamed your name into the darkness
"WHY DID YOU HAVE TO GO?"
And for one second all was silent
Not a car, not even rain
Then behind me, soft as breathing...
**
Daniel...
**
No...
No, don't disappear again...
WHEN THE MIDNIGHT CALLS
I STILL WAIT FOR YOU TO COME
Though I know that road can't bring you
Back into my arms again
And I'll keep the hallway light on
Though they say I should let go
'Cause somewhere past the darkness
There's a love that still comes home
**
Daniel...
Daniel...
Daniel...
IF YOU CAN HEAR ME, DON'T STOP CALLING!
IF YOU'RE STILL THERE, DON'T LET ME GO!
I'D RATHER HEAR YOUR GHOST FOREVER
THAN LIVE LIKE I NEVER LOVED YOU SO!
And when the morning finds me
Your voice is always gone
But I know you'll find me somewhere
When the midnight comes...
**
Daniel...
**
I'm still here.
**
I know...
