Delbert McClinton - Midnight Communion

Down at the neon angel beneath a flashing star
A rag tag congregation is gathered at the bar
Searching for salvation for just an hour or two
While the jukebox in the corner, plays the blues

It's midnight communion, down on Second Avenue
They take the wine 'til closing time, a fellowship of fools
Confessions heard, forgiveness given from twelve o'clock 'til two
It's midnight communion down on Second Avenue

There's one old fallen angel, who's lost the will to fly
But her broken wings still have the strength to hold you when you cry
Lord knows, it's not the best place to lay my burdens down
But someone's always good for one more round

It's midnight communion, down on Second Avenue
They take the wine 'til closing time, a fellowship of fools
Confessions heard, forgiveness given from twelve o'clock till two
It's midnight communion down on Second Avenue

It's midnight communion, down on Second Avenue
They take the wine 'til closing time, a fellowship of fools
Confessions heard, forgiveness given from twelve o'clock till two
It's midnight communion down on Second Avenue
It's midnight communion down on Second Avenue
