Midnight Ringer


Uncle and me, stranger is three,
these bars smell like rain.
Well you check or you bet, there’s no telling yet,
but I’ll see you just the same.

My newest friend, my lucky hand,
I’ll see you around.

Well it takes take to give, takes death to live
if the gospels tell it right.
Cause gleaming under the door of a heart spoken for
is a life-awaited light.

My shotgun singer, my midnight ringer,
I’ll see you around.

And 1000 sparrows came down from the blue
And landed lightly just to prove you true

Well pour me a pour, you’re a stranger no more,
now we’re laughing and lateing.
I’ll kiss you out of the truck, let’s say it’s for luck
and the silver wings waiting’Ķ

I’ll watch them rise, from wheels to sky
I’ll see you around.
