Lyrics Gordon Lightfoot

Gordon Lightfoot

East of Midnight

Put me somewhere east of midnight

West of the turnpike

Anywhere I wander

Is where I'll take my rest

As I lie down, toss some thoughts around

Dreams I'm told will come true if you

Believe in those who love you right now

Sea of dreams I long for you

Forget about the others

This is my hike, you can come if you like

To feel good, I would help you if I could

But I am out here searching

For the things that might have been

I need no more reminders

Not one love letter have I seen

And that's a pretty good start

The ocean is where lovers meet again

Sea of dreams by all means

Float me out of danger until then

Forever amen

It's a long, long hike

We'll be leavin' early travelin' light

That's alright heaven will be ours tonight

The road is paved with moonbeams

There are faces that I knew

They all came back to haunt me

But that ain't fair to the folks like me and you

It takes a bit of my heart

Tonight I shall be watching from the shore

Sea of dreams from now on

Forget about all the others

Back where the line forms

Destination sea of storms

By all means ever onward sea of dreams

Put me somewhere east of midnight

Along about daylight

Anywhere I wander

Is where I'll take my rest

If we could just lie down, love

Toss some thoughts around

It's a tough and a dirty long hike

You can come if you like

If we could just lie down

Toss some thoughts around
