Night Flight

[Verse 1] 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 [Chorus] 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? [Verse 2] 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 [Chorus] Oh, yeah come on, meet me in the morning Won't you meet me in the middle of the night Oh, well the morning light is coming Don't it make you wanna go and feel alright? [Verse 3] 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 [Verse 4] 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 [Chorus] Oh, come on, meet me in the morning Won't you meet me in the middle of the night, night, night 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
