Midnight Blue

(专辑： Take Me High - 1973)

Here's to you, you solitary sleeper
As you face another long and lonely night
Put the tom cat out in the yard
And turn out the light
Switch off

Rest your head, and close your weary peepers
As you try and keep those memories at bay
And from now on start trying
Not to toss your sleepy time away

'Cause weary eyes and weary shoulders
Won't bring her back to you
You used to be a man of color
And now you're midnight blue

Your weary eyes and weary shoulders
Won't bring her back, it's true, yes it's true
You used to be a man of color once
But now you're midnight blue

Rest your head, and close your weary peepers
As you try and keep those memories at bay
And from now on start trying
Not to toss your sleepy time away

'Cause weary eyes and weary shoulders
Won't bring her back to you
You used to be a man of color
And now you're midnight blue

Your weary eyes and weary shoulders
Won't bring her back, it's true, yes it's true
You used to be a man of color once
But now you're midnight blue
