Lyrics
[Verse 1]
She flies through the night on silver wings
With a smile, no obligation
She says, walk with me, I'll take you down
Through the storm to your destination
She says, hold me now, I'll take you there
To the dawning of a new creation
[Verse 2]
Midnight moonlight lady
[Verse 3]
Bird on the wing, she is flying to greet me
Bird on the wing, she is flying to me
[Verse 4]
The night is waiting
She must know how I feel
In the neon darkness
She is all that is real
[Verse 5]
I know it must be a dream
Will she be gone tomorrow
But tonight the world is still
And I can feel no sorrow
But tonight the world is still
And I can feel no sorrow
[Verse 6]
Midnight moonlight lady
[Verse 7]
Bird on the wing, she is flying to greet me
Bird on the wing, she is flying to me
[Verse 8]
She says, take me from this wilderness
I want to be where I won't be lonely
Take me from this wilderness
I want to be where I can see
Take me from this wilderness
I want to be where I can be free, yeah
[Verse 9]
See the shadows dancing 'cross the moonlight in her eyes
See a vision forming and it comes as no surprise
Could it be a warning that love hurts before it satisfies?
[Verse 10]
See the shadows dancing 'cross the moonlight in her eyes
See a vision forming and it comes as no surprise
Could it be a warning that love hurts before it satisfies?
[Verse 11]
She keeps her secrets with her eyes
Like the moon behind a silver cloud
She holds my memory with her smile
Am I dreaming now, spinning round
[Verse 12]
Let her take it all away
Every time I turn around I know she is there
Every time I turn around she's everywhere
[Verse 13]
Midnight moonlight lady
Midnight moonlight lady
[Verse 14]
Come on, shine your light on me, baby (Midnight moonlight lady)
I want you to learn the secrets of the night (Midnight moonlight lady)
Let the moonlight smile on me, baby (Midnight moonlight baby)
Show me the secrets of the night (Midnight moonlight baby)
[Verse 15]
Midnight moonlight lady (Midnight moonlight baby)
I want the taste the night (Midnight moonlight baby)
In the moonlight
Midnight moonlight lady (Midnight moonlight baby)
[Verse 16]
(Midnight moonlight baby)
(Midnight moonlight baby)
(Midnight moonlight baby)
(Midnight)
Bird on the wing, she is flying to me
