Play it again Lady Midnight I'm sitting here close to the wall
I heard every word you were singing but the crowd weren't listening at all
And I know that you play it for money, the songs are all locked up inside
But play it like nobody's listening, take me along for the ride
Play me some old sad song Lady Midnight,
a tune upon your organ you can play
Play me some old sad song Lady Midnight,
then I'll be ready to go home to Lady Day
The hangman and warders are leaving, the bankers are all out of town
Its just me and you and music, you and me both goin' down
Play me some old sad song Lady Midnight,
a tune upon your organ you can play
Play me some old sad song Lady Midnight,
then I'll be ready to go home to Lady Day
Yes I'll be ready to go home to Lady Day.
