Nightflyer

Yeah, I'm a midnight rider
Stone bonafide night flyer
I'm an angel of the morning too
Promise that the dawn will bring you, you

I'm the melody and the space between
Every note the swallow sings
I'm fourteen vultures circling
I'm that crawling, dying thing
I'm the smoke up above the trees, good Lord
The fire and the branch that's burning, Lord
Maybe you were sleeping, Lord
But Mary she's not weeping no more, no

Yeah, I'm a midnight rider
Stone bonafide night flyer
I'm an angel of the morning too
Promise that the dawn will bring you, you, you

I'm the sick light of a hurricane's eye
I'm a violent lullaby
I'm six fireflies, one streetlight
I'm a suffocating summer night, mm-hmm, mm-hmm

I'm each of his steps on the stairway
I'm his shadow in the door frame
I'm the tap tap of a lunar moth
I'm the stale beer on his breath mm-hmm, mm-hmm

His soul is trapped in that room
But I crawled back in my mother's womb
Came back out with my gold and my greens
Now I see everything
Now I feel everything good Lord
What the hell could they bring to stop me Lord?
Nothing from the earth, nothing from the sea
Not a God almighty thing

Yeah, I'm a midnight rider
Stone bonafide night flyer
I'm an angel of the morning too
The promise that the dawn will bring you, you, you

I'm the wounded bird, I'm the screaming hawk
I'm the one who can't be counted out
I'm the dove thrown into battle
I can roll and shake and rattle mm-hmm, hmm

I'm the moon's dark side, I'm the solar flare
The child of the earth, the child of the air
I am the mother of the evening star
I am the love that conquers all

Yeah, I'm a midnight rider
Stone bonafide night flyer
I'm an angel of the morning too
The promise that the dawn will bring you

Yeah, I'm a midnight rider
Stone bonafide night flyer
I'm an angel of the morning too
Promise that the dawn will bring you, you, you, you, you, you, you
