Way Past Midnight

With the pillows wide, I lay thee down

Gaze into your face so round, ah-ha

Sweet boy of mine

And if I could, I'd take the weight of the world

Bundle it off on the back of a bird, I'd do it

Sweet boy of mine

All the grunts and groans ringing through the ground

They ring like silence's golden sound, ah-ha

My boy, let it ring

If rest won't come on this arm of mine

I'll walk through half light down the line, ah-ha

Way past midnight

And I'll tap the bow off slumber's shore through the engine's moaning

Rumbling roar way past

Way past midnight

My eyes, my eyes full of paper and sand

They shine anew don't ya understand way past

Way past midnight

Oh, to prop you up at the edge of my wing

Is to take this page and make it sing, ah-ha

My boy, make it sing

Oh, it's so hard to make it through

But I'll shine a light for that girl and you, ah-ha

Sweet boy of mine
