You came in at three AM
Rainwater dripping from your brim
Your knuckles bruised, your breathing fast
Running from a catching past
You didn't have to say a word
I already knew what had occurred
I took your coat, I locked the door
I wiped the red spots off the floor
I poured the coffee, hot and black
And told you not to look back
If the sirens come, if the knock is loud
I’ll be the silver lining in your storm cloud
I am your midnight alibi
The only truth within your lie
We watched a movie, drank some wine
From ten o'clock till half past nine
That is the story I will sell
To keep you from a prison cell
I know you don't love me the way I do
But I am inextricably tied to you
A co-conspirator in the dark
Leaving a permanent, tragic mark
I am your midnight alibi
I am your midnight alibi
The only truth within your lie
We watched a movie, drank some wine
From ten o'clock till half past nine
That is the story I will sell
To keep you from a prison cell
Rest your head.
I've got the story straight.
