I'm a big Leonard Cohen fan so this one is more about the words than anything else -

Midnight is inside raging
Waiting in the wings
The bridesmaids are outside raising
Their voices to the wind

Midnight is inside shaking
The water-pipes in the walls
The skylights are just now waking
To peer out into the storm

And all the lovers
To one another
Have broken and confessed
To the un-original sin
Of their sometimes loneliness

Midnight is outside raging
As a street choir sings
A tale of the concrete
From my book of neon hymns

And somewhere in this city
They’re playing out my songs
The seats are all empty now
[But they keep me playing on]

And all the lovers
And the lonely
Have laid their hearts to rest
For only they know best
How close – lies love to loneliness
