[Verse 1]

I received a message from my brother across the water

He sat laughing as he wrote, "The end's in sight"

So I said goodbye to all my friends and packed my hopes inside a matchbox

'Cause I know it's time to fly

[Chorus]

Oh, yeah, come on, meet me in the morning

Meet me in the middle of the night

Ah, yeah, the morning light is coming

Don't it make you wanna go and feel alright?

Ooh yeah, ah hah

[Verse 2]

I just jumped a train that never stops

So now somehow I know I'll never finish paying for my ride

Someone pushed a gun into my hand

Tell me I'm the type of man to fight the fight without inquiring

[Chorus]

Oh, yeah-ha come on, meet me in the morning

Won't you meet me in the middle of the night, night, night, yeah?

Oh, well, the morning light is coming

Don't it make you wanna go and feel alright?

[Bridge]

Oh, mama, well, I think it's time I'm leaving

Nothing here to make me stay

Whoa, mama, well, it must be time I'm going

They're knocking down them doors, they're trying to take me away

Please, Mr. Brakeman, won't you ring your bell

And ring it loud and clear?

Please, Mr. Fireman, won't you ring your bell?

Tell the people they got to fly away from here

[Verse 3]

Oh, I once saw a picture of a lady with a baby

Southern lady, had a very, very special smile

We are in the middle of a change in destination

When the train stops, all together we will smile

[Chorus]

Oh, come on, come on now, meet me in the morning

Won't you meet me in the middle of the night, night, n-n-night?

Oh, oh yeah, everybody know the morning time is coming

Don't it make you wanna feel alright? Ah, ah, yeah

[Outro]

Make me feel alright

Fly now, baby

Get to fly, yeah

Fly now, baby

Oh, hey hey

Uh, uh, uh, uh
