10,000 Midnights Lyrics - Spill Canvas

10,000 midnights ago 

Uptown at the Harlem Apollo 

You sang a long, long blues 

I loved the way you worked your voodoo 

10,000 midnights ago 

I wound up my watch 'til the spring broke 

My, my time is so unkind 

She got punch-drunk in the moon-shine 

Old New York, tell me the truth 

You know him better than I do 

I know I'm not the one for you 

I'm just another hand-me-down

10,000 midnights ago 

I heard your voice, not your echo 

Grand Central valentine 

Tear my heart out on the main line 

10,000 midnights ago 

I lived just to die in your shadow 

Black satin melody 

That's what I heard when you left me 

Old New York, tell me the truth 

You know him better than I do 

I know I'm not the one for you 

I'm just another hand-me-down 

10,000 midnights ago 

I held myself back in the front row 

You affect my memory 

All consuming without mercy 

Photos 

10,000 midnights ago 

Worn like a black and white photo 

I stood behind the lens 

Took your portrait, now I'm forgotten
