lyrics
In the middle of the daytime
In the middle of the nighttime
Can’t you hear me calling
To the kingdom come?
Well the keys to the kingdom
They broke off in the lock, boys
Been searching another way in
We didn’t think to try knocking
I thought I heard a sparrow
Sing the mockingbird’s song
And you begin to wonder if what they’ve been feeding you
Has been a lie all along
In the middle of the daytime
In the middle of the nighttime
Can’t you hear me calling
To the kingdom come?
Well my hair is going
From black to grey
Just like the smoke
From a dying train
And just as the thunder rolls, boys,
Long after the lightning flashes
The truth will appear swift and shining
Though it may be years before you understand it
I fell asleep in the shade of the Tree
Of the Knowledge of Good and Evil
I let the world stitch up my wounds
But there was no thread on the needle
In the middle of the daytime
In the middle of the nighttime
Can’t you hear me calling
To the kingdom come?
And when I meet my maker
When I shake my Devil’s hand
I will tell him not to wait for you
For you’re bound for the Promised Land
In the middle of the daytime
In the middle of the nighttime
Can’t you hear me calling
To the kingdom come?
