Songtext Child of midnight Jim Croce

Child of midnight

She stood by the window and let down her hair

Asked if I knew that I shouldn’t be there

Her lips said goodbye

But her body said stay

I knew I should go but I stayed anyway

And they called her child of midnight

And they say she’d love

Whomever she find

But when morning came I loved her

And she stayed there in my mind

She stood by the window and let down her hair

Asked if I thought that it was right

That she give her body and I give my mind

I looked for an answer all the night

And they called her child of midnight

And they say she’d love

Whomever she find

But when morning came I loved her

And she stayed there in my mind

She stood by the window and tied up her hair

Acted as if I had never been there

Her lips said goodbye

But her body said stay

I knew I should go but I stayed anyway

And they called her child of midnight

And they say she’d love

Whomever she find

But when morning came I loved her

And she stayed there in my mind
