I received a message from my love across the water You sat laughin' as you wrote the ends 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 yeah, come on, meet me in the morning (won't you) Meet me in the middle of the night (night night) Oh yeah, the mornin' light is comin' Don't it make you wanna (try to) feel all right
I just jumped a train that never stops So now so how'll they know I never finished Payin' for my ride Just now someone pushed the dime into my hand Tell me I'm the type of man To fight the fight that I'll require
(* Repeat)
Oh, mama, well I think it's time I'm leavin' Nothin' here to make me stay Oh, 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 it loud and clear Please Mr. Fireman, won't you ring your bell And 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 ware in the middle of a change in destination When the train starts, all together we will smile
Oh, come on, come on, now meet me in the morning Won't you meet me in the middle of the night Night, night, night Oh yeah, everybody knows the mornin' time is comin' Don't it make you wanna feel all right Oh, yeah, make me feel all right, fly now, baby Get to fly, yeah, fly my baby
