Lyrics + translation · letras.mus.br

🎤 Sing along

Sing with the chorus

I go out walking after midnight
Out in the moonlight just like we used to do
I'm always walking after midnight
Searching for you

Echo the hook

I stopped to see a weeping willow
Crying on his pillow
Maybe he's crying for me
And as the skies turn gloomy

walkingmidnightsearching
