Night Flight





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
