in the rain collapse cross out which way we'll go the ever last while
the wind attacks the past truth and times so shallow develop an attitude

And I was on the Midnight Flyer out of Birmingham
Smokin' into New Orleans
Somebody helped me get out of Louisiana

And there's no one there
The dreamer is always alone
And the mighty blue ocean
Keeps rolling on every shore
Like the spiri
