[Verse]
In the cold light of the morning
I watch the sunrise slowly dawning
I close my eyes and I see you there
And the silence takes my breath away
Can't stand to face another day

[Verse]
In the evening, when the sun goes down
I reach out for you, but you're not around
You color my world—midnight blue
So what's a man like me to do
With all the love I feel for you?

[Chorus]
Come and take me—midnight blue
Here I am, I'm waiting for you
When I'm troubled and all alone
You shine down on me when I need sympathy
Sympathy

[Verse]
Under street lights, I walk alone
Hiding in shadows from dusk to dawn
The taste of your perfume on the cold night air
Leaves a sadness hanging over me
The thought of you won't let me be

[Chorus]
Come and take me—midnight blue
Here I am, I'm waiting for you
When I'm troubled and all alone
You shine down on me when I need sympathy
Sympathy

[Chorus]
Come and take me—midnight blue
Here I am, I'm waiting for you
When I'm troubled and all alone
You shine down on me when I need sympathy

[Chorus]
Come and take me—midnight blue
Here I am, I'm waiting for you
When I'm troubled and all alone
You shine down on me when I need sympathy
Sympathy
Sympathy
Mama-ma, sympathy
