Night Flight

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
Meet me in the middle of the night
Oh yeah, the morning’ light is comin’
Don’t it make you wanna go 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
Someone pushed the dime into my hand
Tell me I’m the type of man
To fight the fight that I’ll require

Oh yeah, come on, meet me in the mornin’
        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

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 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 are 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
