Southeast Engine - Two Of Every Kind lyrics

One night when the house was quiet I slipped out the back door I didn't know where I was going or what I was leaving for My day was filled with the usual at work I stared at the screen long enough to scare myself to feel like a machine at home my wife made dinner the kids ran and gave me hugs our beautiful family filled our good home with love yeah and night came as I put the kids to sleep we said a quick prayer, “Father won't you keep us safe from any evil out there.” I drove across the town to find whatever I was looking for stopped at a little café I had never seen before inside the lights were dim I got a coffee found a seat that's when she caught my eye and sat down across from me she said, “they call me Lady Midnight after the Leonard Cohen song,” yeah she spoke to me so gracefully and I just went along But back in church I learned holiness and how to live above the earth and all its worldliness drowning in the flood but God's children build a secret ark to keep them in God's light the rainbow shines eternal joy while the rest of nature dies yeah but I've read every chapter and still my heart is weak, yeah, and judgment falls on every act no matter how discreet And so she calls after me and invites me back to her place to know to see with no make believe she is looking at my face I am counting on God's grace
