In the Middle of the Night  ( to River of Dreams, by Billy Joel)

Snape

In the middle of the night
I go walking -- I don't sleep - 
Through the castle so dark
>From my dungeon so deep
And I'm looking for some peace of mind
Memories crowd my greasy head
But all I ever seem to find
Is Potter out of bed

So many voices fill my head
So many secrets that I know and that must now be hid
I see the faces of the friends now dead
The nightmare of the things I saw and the things I did

In the middle of the night
I go walking - I don't sleep - 
Fleeing memories I fear
In my dungeon so deep
And I keep thinking 'bout a girl I knew
Who once bewitched my soul
A love that I would never lose
A love somebody stole

And so that's why I go walking at night
I'm not a vampire longing for a feed
Can't you tell this heart still beats, I'm not undead
Can't you see I bleed?

In the middle of the night
I went walking - couldn't sleep - 
Had a problem with my dark life
Found I'd sunk myself too deep
Met a guy whose name was George
And his little sister Di
Who showed me that the Dark Lord
Was just the Prince of Lies
In the middle of the night

I wasn't sure about life after this
But Dumbledore soon had me on his team
Betrayed my friends with a Judas' kiss
So now they haunt my dreams

In the middle of the night 
I go walking - I don't sleep -
To escape the ghosts
In my dungeon so deep
And although I was a Death Eater
When my moral sense was zero
Now I suffer for my ethics - 
I'm a walking Kantian hero
In the middle of the night

Eloise
