I received a message from my brother across the water |
|
He sat laughin' as he wrote the end's in sight |
|
So I said goodbye to all my friends |
|
And packed my hopes inside a matchbox |
|
'Cause I know it's time to fly |
|
Come on, meet me in the morning, Meet me in the middle of the night |
|
The morning light is comin', don't it make you wanna go and feel alright |
|
I just jumped a train that never stops, |
|
So now somehow I'll know I never finished payin' for my ride |
|
Just n' someone pushed a gun into my hand |
|
Tell me I'm the type of man to fight the fight that I'll require |
|
Come on, meet me in the morning, Meet me in the middle of the night |
|
The morning light is comin', don't it make you wanna go and feel alright |
|
Oh, mama, well I think it's time I'm leavin' |
|
Nothin' here to make me stay |
|
Whoa, mama, well it must be time I'm goin' |
|
They're knockin' down them doors |
|
They're tryin' to take me away |
|
Please Mr. Brakeman, won't you ring your bell. And ring loud and clear |
|
Please Mr. Fireman, won't you ring your bell |
|
Tell the people they got to fly away from here |
|
I once saw a picture of a lady with a baby |
|
Southern lady, had a very, very special smile |
|
We are in the middle of a change in destination |
|
When the train stops, all together we will smile |
|
Oh, meet me in the morning. Won't you meet me in the middle of the night, night, night |
|
Everybody know the mornin' time is comin' |
|
Don't it make you wanna feel alright. Ah, ah, yeah |
|
Make me feel alright. Fly now, baby |
|
Get to fly, yeah. Fly now, baby |
