Midnight Wind
 

Written & Sung: J. Stewart; Guitar: L. Buckingham; Backup Vocal: S. Nicks
 

Come on down, Miranda
Your window's open wide
Take a chance on a midnight dance
So I can see it in your eyes

Come on down, Miranda
Don't need to fix your hair
Shake the town with the windows down
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

Come on down, Miranda
You know your time has come
You beauty queens come on so clean
But you're, 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
Lovers who try in the midnight wind
You and I in the midnight wind
Midnight wind, midnight wind
Midnight wind

There are dreams that fly in the midnight wind
Souls that cry in the midnight wind
Lovers who try in the midnight wind
I said, you and I in the midnight wind
Midnight wind, midnight wind
Midnight wind, midnight wind
Midnight wind
(Midnight wind, midnight wind)
(Come on down, come on down)
(Come on down, come on down)
(Come on down, come on down)
(Come on down, come on down)
(Come on down)

There are dreams that fly in the midnight wind
There are souls that cry in the midnight wind
There are lovers who try in the midnight wind
(Come on down)

(Written on the wind)
Come on down
(Come on down)
Come on down, come on down
Come on down, come on down

(Come on down, come on down)
Come on down, come on down
(Don't leave me)
Don't leave me
And the lovers have it on the wind
It's written on the wind
Never going back again
And it's written on the wind, written on the wind...

 

WEBMISTRESS speculates:

This is one of my favorite songs on this album! I especially like the chorus....and the guitar part is so exciting! I notice Lindsey uses the phrase "midnight wind" in one of his songs years later - Loving Cup. He must have liked the sound of it...but that's OK, because apparently John Stewart likes the phrase "Never going back again"!

 

LAURA speculates:

this is probably my favorite song on the whole album... i have always liked john stewart, even when he was part of the kingston trio back in the early sixties..:)

this song is so mysterious and haunting... everytime i hear it, i think of a dark and stormy night outside... possibly halloween.... the wind is blowing ... and to hear stevies background vocals on this, sends chills up my spine...you can almost imagine her voice being carried away by the wind... plus, lindseys guitar in this is pretty awesome as well... you can definitely pick out his guitar over john stewarts....
