Soon After Midnight Lyrics

Soon After Midnight
Soon After Midnight
{c:The liner notes say "Written by Bob Dylan ", but it sounds awf'ly lot like Bobby Fuller's A New Shade of Blue - riff, chords, and partly the melody.
Released on Tempest (2012)

I'm searching for phrases
To sing your praises.
I need to tell someone.
It's soon after midnight,
And my day has just begun
A gal named Honey
Took my money
She was passing by.
It's soon after midnight,
And the moon is in my eye
My heart is cheerful.
It's never fearful.
I've been down on the killing floors.
I'm in no great hurry,
I'm not afraid of your fury.
I've faced stronger walls than yours.
Charlotte's a harlot,.
Dresses in scarlet.
Mary dresses in green.
It's soon after midnight,
And I've got a date with the fairy queen.
They chirp and they chatter,
What does it matter?
They're lying and dying in their blood.
Two-timing Slim,
Who's every heard of him?
I'll drag his corpse through the mud.
It's now or never
More than ever.
When I met you, I didn't think you would do
Its soon after midnight,
And I don't want nobody but you.
