| I received a message from my brother across the water
|
| He sat laughing as he wrote, «The end’s in sight»
|
| So I said goodbye to all my friends
|
| And packed my hopes inside a matchbox
|
| Because I know it’s time to fly
|
| Oh, yeah, come on, meet me in the morning
|
| Meet me in the middle of the night
|
| Ah, yeah, the morning light is coming
|
| Don’t it make you wanna go and feel alright?
|
| Ooh yeah, ah hah
|
| I just jumped a train that never stops
|
| So now somehow I know I’ll never finish paying for my ride
|
| Someone pushed a gun into my hand
|
| Tell me I’m the type of man
|
| To fight the fight without inquiring
|
| Oh, yeah-ha 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
|
| Don’t it make you wanna go and feel alright?
|
| 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
|
| And ring it loud and clear?
|
| Please, Mr. Fireman, won’t you ring your bell?
|
| Tell the people they got to fly away from here
|
| Ohh, 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, come on, come on now, meet me in the morning
|
| Won’t you meet me in the middle of the night, night, n-n-night?
|
| Oh, oh yeah, everybody know the morning time is coming
|
| 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
|
| Oooh, hey hey
|
| Uh, uh, uh, uh |
