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
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

In my life
In my time and in each line i've ever sung
And in my life
Was it my imagination or are you still the one
Who lingers on
I'd do anything for you
You'd do anything for me
We'd do anything for love
Oh you'd use any means
And i would try any scheme for love
We'd do anything for love

Once or twice
In my loneliness i watched the world go by
There was i
One too many miles beyond where you might say
Some luck was due, after all

We could have touched the sky
You had no alibi because
We'd do anything for love
Oh i would try any means
To have you in all my dreams because
You'd do anything for love

Not long ago as i rememeber
Once upon a dark and windy day
When love looked like a dying ember
Before you came to call
The beauty of it all i though i'd lost and yet

Cause in my life
Here in my mind in it now shines
A guiding light
Never again will i lose my way
Oh i would not tell a lie and
You had no alibi because
We'd do anything for love
Oh you'd use any means
And i would try any scheme for love
Simply anything for love
Oh i would do anything
Just about anything because
We'd do anything for love
Anything for love

Pretty faces everywhere
A few hard cases stop and stare
They've got charm that is not right
Pretty faces late at nightmorning glory what's the story
Will it ever end
I've been all the way to biscayne bay
And all the way back again
All the way back again
I remember our old rendezvous
The key was kept inside a shoe
Those moments will remain frozen in time
Morning glory's on my mind
What's the story morning glory
Will it ever end
I've been all the way to biscayne bay
And all the way back again
All the way back again

It seems like only yesterday
She married me and carried me away
I found out what life was all about
Morning glory threw me out
Hey morning glory what's the story
Will it ever end
I've been all the way to biscayne bay
And all the way back again
Alimony, palimony
Puts a dent in me
I've been all the way to biscayne bay
For a dip in the shining sea
A dip in the shining sea

Pretty faces everywhere
A few hard cases stop and stare
Even when i know it ain't my day
A lot of good faces anyway
Morning glory what's the story
What is it to be
I've been all the way to biscayne bay
For a dip in the shining sea
A dip in the shining sea

What's the story morning glory
Will it ever end
I've been all the way to biscayne bay
And all the way back again
All the way back again
Hey morning glory what's the story
Will it ever end
I've been all the way to biscayne bay
And all the way back again
All the way back again

I can always try to forget somehow
What's a part of the past
Have a little laughter if you please
I won't even mind if it takes awhile
I've got time on my hands
I feel another chapter in the breeze
Somebody touched my heart string
Somebody made my heart sing
Somebody stole my heart away
Nobody's sayin' their sorry
It's a mighty sweet music
You can dance all night
Put some wood on the fire right now
Ecstacy made easy

Ecstasy i ask you, are you a name
Or just another patron with a smile
Let me analyze you, are you a flame
Or just the dying embers
Of a kiss run wild

Somebody found my heart string
Somebody made my heart sing
Somebody touched my heart last night
Somebody set me in flight
It's a mighty sweet music
Take a chance they say
Put some fire on the old iron stove
Ecstasy made easy, made easy

I hope i never lose what belongs to me
By the right of my birth
At midnight sailing out of perth
Getting under way we turned 'er westward bound
On that southern sea
To sea what ecstasy was worth

If i satisfy you, if you satisfy me
Once the course has been set
Gonna need all the help i can get but
You just gotta be you, 'n i just gotta be me
I can't classify you, you can't pacify me
We can't make it at all
You won't even take my calls
I just want ta be loved
'n you just gotta be free
I'll smile and tell it to the world
You just gotta be
Pardon me for sayin'
What a price you've been payin'
What more can i say
You might feel different some day

If it matter to you, it still matters to me
You'll find me by the bayou
Thinkin' wicked thoughts of you
I just want ta be strong, you just gotta be wrong
I can't clarify you, you can't verify me
I can't make it by stealth
You won't even share the wealth so
You just gotta be you
And i just gotta be me
And i will tell that to the world
You just gotta be

With a gratified mind, i'll be on the highway
Just as soon as i can
Where there's a will there's a way so until then
I just want ta be me, and you just gotta be
