Midnight from Redeye Flight by Downy Woodpecker

The flowers on the side of highway 95 shout to me as I go by but I don’t listen
‘Cause I know what they’re saying it’s the name in all my prayers it’s the sound of the combustion in my engine
And I used to ride the T and you’d sit across from me and I’d try to touch your hand but you were gone
And I’d wish that the T would go under the sea but we’d always go downtown and I’d get off

If only I could be a runway light
So I could guide you home on redeye flights
If only I could live inside a song
And be with you wherever it goes on
Wherever it goes on

I went to Las Vegas and I found a poker table and I tried to gamble you away
You were my only card, oh, my lucky queen of hearts and I lost you cheatin’ cards oh I gave you away
And the odometer dial read a hundred thousand miles and now I’m ready for another hundred K
I know what I saw it was a streetlight in the fog it was God sitting in Southwest Harbor, Maine

If only I could be a runway light
So I could guide you home on redeye flights
If only I could live inside a song
And be with you wherever it goes on
Wherever it goes on

You don’t have to believe me, ‘cause I know what I saw, I know what I saw, I know what I saw, I know what I saw
You don’t have to believe me, ‘cause I know what I saw, I know what I saw, I know what I saw, I know what I saw
You don’t have to believe me, ‘cause I know what I saw, I know what I saw, I know what I saw, I know what I saw
You don’t have to believe me, ‘cause I know what I saw, I know what I saw, I know what I saw, I know what I saw

If only I could be a runway light
So I could guide you home on redeye flights
If only I could live inside a song
And be with you wherever it goes on
