Twelve o'clock
You climb your stairs
You turn the key
And no-one's there, no-one's there
It's cold and bare
And there's the phone
It's on your wall
And there's a note
No-one's called, no-one's called
And ain't that small

Chorus:
But I can help you
I can understand
I can help you
To your promised land
I'm your helping hand
Your midnight man

You try to sleep
But sleep won't come
You lie awake
And toss and turn
Toss and turn
And burn, burn, burn
You read a book
And try some food
You have a smoke
It's ain't no good
It's ain't no good
You're in that mood

(chorus)

No need to be there
All on your own
You got the number
You got the phone
Any time any day
And I'll be on my way
I'm at your window
I'm at your door
I'm on the ceiling
I'm on the floor
I'm coming, I'm coming, I'm coming
Here I come

'Cos I can help you
I can understand
I can help you
To your promised land
I'm your helping hand
Your midnight man

I can help you
I can understand
I can help you
To the promised land
I'm your helping hand
Your midnight man
Your midnight man
The latest song

I can help you
I can understand
I can help you
To the promised land
I'm your helping hand
Your midnight man
Your midnight man
A little bit louder

I can help you
I can understand
I can help you
To the promised land
I'm your helping hand
Your midnight man
