Midnight Communion - Delbert McClinton

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

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

Midnight communion

Down on Second Avenue
