Midnight Son - Eric Andersen

How gentle is the night

It never gets dark at all

Even if you stumble, man

They never let you fall

The light is pure as the water

In the fjord

And no line separates

The sealine from the shore

Chorus:

But it’s only dark at midnight

When it comes

There must be a reason

And it must be fate

It must be fate that

I’m the only one

Yes, it must be fate that I’m the

Midnight son!

There seems to be too much

Trouble every where

It’s in the papers -- I can feel

It in the air

Some are helpless and they

Turn to Jesus

They never knew --

That the Indians would leave us!

Chorus

My woman, she’s exhausted

From the flight

She just can’t seem to

Understand the light

She’s dreamin;

now of all

She left behind

But I swear her soul,

Her soul is due to still arrive

Chorus
