Midnight Wind

He blew in town at midnight and he didn't mean to stay He found her just at closing time at the Alamo Cafe And the way he smiled and carried on it kinda made her day So by the time that she left he left with her And she let him borrow money and she let him drive her car She didn't really trust him but she done and gone too far When the midnight moon is shining when it's shining down the way If he blew in on the midnight wind he may never pass this way again She knew down in her heart that he would only stay awhile But sometimes she was a woman and sometimes she was a child Then just about the time that she was learning how to smile One Tuesday night he came up missing And sometimes now she thinks she hears his footsteps cross the floor But it's just that midnight wind howling around the door When the midnight moon is shining... When the midnight moon is shining...
