East Of Midnight Lyrics - Gordon Lightfoot

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
