Midnight Sun
floating over the airwaves
what a feeling
I don't believe it
distant voices from deep space
are you receiving?
or can't you hear it?
you're still the only one
who sets me free
just like a midnight sun
shining on me
drifting over the freeways
it seems so easy
I know you're near me
rising up through the staircase
your eyes are open
I know you hear me
you're still the only one
who sets me free
just like a midnight sun
shining on me
riding out on the airwaves
what a feeling
I don't believe it
lift me out of this strange place
give me something
you know I need it
you're still the only one
who sets me free
just like a midnight sun
shining on me
you're still the only one
who sets me free
just like a midnight sun
shining on me
Hey Baby
In my song you'll live again
And the phrases that I rhyme
Are just the footsteps out of time
From the time when I knew you
Reuben James
Reuben James, all the folks around Madison County
Cussed your name
You're just a no-account, sharecropping colored man
Who'd steal anything he can
And everybody laid the blame on Reuben James
CHORUS:
Reuben James, for you still walk the furrowed fields of my mind
Faded shirt, your weathered brow
Your caloused hands upon the plow
I loved you then and I love you now, Reuben James
