Classic Rock Lyrics

Night Flight Lyrics - Led Zeppelin



I received a message from my love across the water
You sat laughin' as you wrote the ends 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

*Oh yeah, come on, meet me in the morning (won't you)
 Meet me in the middle of the night (night night)
 Oh yeah, the mornin' light is comin'
 Don't it make you wanna (try to) feel all right

I just jumped a train that never stops
So now so how'll they know I never finished
Payin' for my ride
Just now someone pushed the dime into my hand
Tell me I'm the type of man
To fight the fight that I'll require

(* Repeat)

Oh, mama, well I think it's time I'm leavin'
Nothin' here to make me stay
Oh, mama, well it must be time I'm goin'
They're knockin' down them doors
They're tryin' 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
And tell the people they got to fly away from here

I once saw a picture of a lady with a baby
Southern lady, had a very, very special smile
We ware in the middle of a change in destination
When the train starts, all together we will smile

Oh, come on, come on, now meet me in the morning
Won't you meet me in the middle of the night
Night, night, night
Oh yeah, everybody knows the mornin' time is comin'
Don't it make you wanna feel all right
Oh, yeah, make me feel all right, fly now, baby
Get to fly, yeah, fly my baby
