What I'm Living For (I'll Never Know)

Verse 1:
Running down a blacktop road
my boots are worn, my heads all snowed in
Running 'round and 'round I go
Where I'm going I don't know
What I'm living for I'll never know

Verse 2:
I wake and watch the mercury fall
Winter's coming fast, like a cannonball
I rise, but I don't stand so tall
I've got to walk so I don't crawl
I've got to do it now or not at all

Verse 3:
I knew I had to change my tune
but I didn't think the spring would come so soon
I was laid out in the back room
when you came in like the month of June
all sun and rain and smell of sweet perfume

Chorus:
You were a miracle at midnight
I got a miracle and I'm all right
You were a miracle at midnight
I got a miracle and I'm all right
