Epistrophy [alternate Take] Lyrics - Thelonious Monk

It begins to tell 

'Round midnight, midnight 

I do pretty well, till after sundown 

Suppertime I'm feelin' sad 

But it really gets bad 

'Round midnight 

Memories always start 'round midnight 

Haven't got the heart to stand those memories 

When my heart is still with you 

And ol' midnight knows it, too 

When a quarrel we had needs mending 

Does it mean that our love is ending 

Darlin' I need you, lately I find 

You're out of my heart 

And I'm out of my mind 

Let our hearts take wings' 

'Round midnight, midnight 

Let the angels sing 

For your returning 

Till our love is safe and sound 

And old midnight comes around 

Feelin' sad 

Really gets bad 

Round, Round, Round Midnight
