Night Flight

I received a message from my brother across the water

He sat laughing as he wrote "The end's in sight"

So I said good bye to all my friends and packed my hopes inside a matchbox

'Cause I know it's time to fly

Oh, yeah, come on, meet me in the morning

Meet me in the middle of the night

Oh, yeah, the morning light is coming

Don't it make you want to kind of feel all right?

I just jumped a train that never stops

So now, somehow they'll know I'll never finished paying for my ride

Someone pushed a gun into my hand

Tell me I'm the type of man to fight the fight that I'll require

Oh, yeah, huh, come on, meet me in the morning

Won't you meet me in the middle of the night, night, night, yeah?

Oh, well, the morning light is coming

Well, don't it make you want to kind of feel all right?

Oh, mama, well, I think it's time I'm leaving

Nothing here to make me stay

Whoa, mama, well, it must be time I'm going

They're knocking down them doors, they're trying to take me away

Please, Mr. Brakeman, won't you ring your bell?

Well, ring it 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

Something made her have a very, very special smile

We are in the middle of a change in destination

When the train stops, altogether we both smile

Oh, come on, come on now, meet me in the morning

Won't you meet me in the middle of the night, night, ni-ni-ni-night?

Oh, oh, yeah, everybody know the morning time is coming

Don't it make you want to feel all right? Ah, ah, yeah

It make me feel all right

Fly now, baby

Get to flying, yeah

Fly now, baby

Oh, hey, yeah, ooh

Ooh, ooh, ooh
