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 leaving early, traveling light,
That's all right, 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.
