East Of Midnight Lyrics by Gordon Lightfoot

East Of Midnight Lyrics

    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
    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
