Midnight Town

Music By John Kahn
Words By Robert Hunter

Released June 1974

I guess you think I'd never want to harm you You better beware That dream you dreamed In time it could demand The very ground on which I stand Maybe you think That I am just a stranger Or maybe recall I knew your name You wrote it on the wall In letters black and tall Way down Way down in midnight town Way down Way down Way down in midnight town Way down When midnight dawns Upon each painted martyr in the circus Maybe you'll recall We met before So please don't you accuse me Of dealing with you loosely Way down Way down in midnight town Way down In midnight town Way down Way down in midnight town Way down Way down in midnight town
