I received a message from my brother 'cross 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 |
|
Oh-oh-oh-hoh, yeah, come on, meet me in the mornin' |
|
Meet me in the middle of the night |
|
Ah-ow, yeah, the mornin' light is comin' |
|
Don't it make ya wanna kinda feel alright? |
|
Ooh, yeah, ah-hah |
|
I just jumped a train that never stops |
|
So now somehow they'll know I'll never finish payin' for my ride |
|
Someone push the gun into my hand |
|
Tell me I'm the type of man to fight the fight without inquiring |
|
Oh-oh-oh-hoh, yeah, ha, come on, meet me in the mornin' |
|
Won't you meet me in the middle of the night, night, night, yeah? |
|
Hoh-oh, well, the mornin' light is comin' |
|
Well, don't it make you wanna kinda 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 to go and |
|
They're knockin' down them doors, they're tryin'a take me away |
|
Please, Mr. Brakeman, won'tcha ring your bell? |
|
And leave me lyin' clear |
|
Uh, please, Mr. Fireman, won'tcha ring your bell? |
|
Tell the people they got to fly away from here |
|
Ooh, I once saw a picture of a lady with a baby |
|
Somethin' made her have a very, very special smile |
|
We are in the middle of a change in destination |
|
When the train stops, altogether we will smile |
|
Oh-oh-oh-hoh, come on, come on, now, meet me in the mornin' |
|
Won'tcha meet me in the middle of the night, night |
|
N-ni-ni-night, hoh, hoh, yeah |
|
Everybody know the mornin' time is comin' |
|
Don't it make ya wanna a-feel alright? |
|
Ah, ah, yeah, a-make me feel alri-ight |
|
Fly now, baby |
|
A-get to flyin', fly now, baby |
|
