Midnight In Madison

words and music by Mitch McVicker

It's midnight in Madison
but it's difficult to catch my breath.
I've been going so hard, trying to flee the dark.
But I'm just left with a burning chest.

But the stars shine when the shadows grow.
I'm by myself tonight, but I am not alone.

Chorus
My heart caves in, I'm far from rustproof.
My soul is collapsin' but I trust you.
You put me together again.

The breeze do-si-dos the moonlight.
I wanna come to know those moves.
You're twirling everywhere, and I'm left standing there.
O my sin cuts in, cut me loose.

Cloudy skies make the rivers flow.
I'm by myself tonight, but I'm not alone.

Chorus

The stars shine, and the rivers flow.
I'm by myself tonight, I'm by myself tonight.
I feel like I'm by myself, but I'm not alone.

Chorus

From Mitch:
"To put it simply, this song is about struggling with sin. When I become to focused on myself, my world seems to fall apart. Sin has a way of eroding my thoughts, eating away at my soul, and making my heart brittle and rusty. However, in his grace, Jesus puts me back together with a faith that remains steadfast as mine waivers."

... Mitch
