East Of Midnight, ©1986 by Gordon Lightfoot

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 alright, 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 love 
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 love 
Toss some thoughts around
