Midnight Sail Songtext
von Manning

Ride, the midnight sail
Leaving from the quayside in the rain
Ride, the midnight sail
Just once around your life and home again

You′ve weighed all of your baggage
And you've got your ticket, dear
There′s plenty of room for memories and everybody's here

Faces from the circus, pipe dreams stowed away
And we're heading out from Karma Town across the Newborn Bay

Ride, the midnight sail
Leaving from the quayside in the rain
Ride, the midnight sail
Just once around your life and home again


You think all you′ve forgotten
Has somehow gone away
But it′s time to put things overboard
They're not needed here today

Floating with the jetsam
As the weightless shoulders fly
Behind the screen we′re washing clean
To get you home 'n dry

Ride, the midnight sail
Leaving from the quayside in the rain
Ride, the midnight sail
Just once around your life and home again

I′m going home on the midnight sail
Take me home on the midnight sail, on the midnight sail
