Midnight Visitor Lyrics - Joe Walsh

We were visited last evening 

By a servant of the day 

He had traveled miles on horseback 

To scout his master's way 

And he only had a moment 

To warm his frozen hands 

And though he needed food and rest 

He told us of his land 

And all too soon 

He had to leave 

Else sleep might block his way 

And so he thanked us both, and saddled up 

And softly rode away 

And I thought I caught a glimpse of sun in his eye 

And wheat field in his smile 

And I couldn't help but a-thinking 

They would follow in a while
