Midnight Wind

by: John Stewart

C'mon down, Miranda, your window's open wide
Take a chance on a midnight dance, so I can see it in
your eyes
C'mon down, Miranda, no need to fix your hair
Let's shake the town with the windows down
And fly in the midnight air
Fly in the midnight air
There are dreams that fly in the midnight wind
Souls that cry in the midnight wind
And lovers who try in the midnight wind
You and I, in the midnight wind
C'mon down Miranda, you know your time has come
You beauty queens come on so clean, but you're missing
all the fun
Yeah, you're missing all the fun
There are dreams that fly in the midnight wind
Souls that cry in the midnight wind
And lovers who try in the midnight wind
You and I, in the midnight wind
There are dreams that fly in the midnight wind
Souls that cry in the midnight wind
And lovers who try in the midnight wind
You and I, in the midnight wind
C'mon down
C'mon down
C'mon down
C'mon down
There are dreams that fly in the midnight wind
Souls that cry in the midnight wind
And lovers who try in the midnight wind
