Jim Lauderdale

An eclipse like this rarely will happen
A shade is made few ever see
How the alignment is decided and seasons travel
Remains unexplained till somebody tries
I'm glad that you had the courage
To live what you wanted to say
The garden is starting to flourish
And midnight will become day
Oh Midnight will become day
SOLO
I'm glad that you had the courage
To live what you wanted to say
The garden is starting to flourish
And midnight will become day
Oh Midnight will become day
Stormes born sails torn far from the shoreline
Safe at home having flown those perilous flights
Every single little twinkle is brighter than imagined
Like you did as a kid you're watching them fall
I'm glad that you had the courage
To live what you wanted to say
The garden is starting to flourish
And midnight will become day
Oh Midnight will become day
I'm glad that you had the courage
To live what you wanted to say
The garden is starting to flourish
And midnight will become day
Oh Midnight will become day
