Midnight Mile Lyrics - Singles - Terry Callier

Like a ship without the ocean 

Like a road without a wheel 

Like a sun without the morning 

People, that's the way I feel 

But I'll be going home in style 

Traveling one more midnight mile, yeah 

I want a cold home or county 

Where man must walk alone 

That was the home of Muddy Waters 

And they called him Daddy Rolling Stone, yeah 

They said the road is such a trial 

Traveling one more midnight mile, yeah 

Now heaven help the people 

Who's scufflin' day by day 

All they need is to find a hero 

Who can help show them the way 

And maybe he'll be here after awhile 

Traveling one more midnight mile 

I looked into the heart of darkness 

The reflection burnt my soul 

I had to try to find a healer 

And her love has made me whole 

She had me crying like a child 

Traveling one more midnight mile, yeah
