about

This song came from a dream that woke me up. It is a very literal look at a midnight, but also steeps in the thoughts and emotions I have towards family, the world at large as well as just the state of mind. I was very pleased to have my good friend Joey Cappoccia sit in and lay down some harmonies and monkey around with what noises could be made in the background.

lyrics

Woke up in the middle of the night
Had a feeling something's not right
So I got out of bed
Just to clear my head

Looked out at a storm outside
It was blowing raw and blowing wild
And I stared out the window
Just a little while

A mist of dark, it dulled the night
Everything seemed fight or flight
Turning, turning
The widening rain drops

The whole world seemed shades of gray
And half my life was blown away
And the trees
Were shaking from root to top

And I'm just waiting for the wind to stop
And I'm just waiting for the wind to stop

Some people measure love by the thimble full
They're mean and selfish, hypocritical
You can't trust them all
Trust them with your trust

Good old friends will just let you go
One day: no call no show
But some
Will never give you up

Still I'm was waiting for the wind to stop
Still I'm was waiting for the wind to stop

A flash of lightning lit up all the night
For a moment everything seemed clear and bright
Reminded me it's time to say good night

Chamomile tea and double blankets
Woolen socks carry me to my bed
Not all warmth is divinely sent

But I said a prayer
Aw, what the heck
I wished you well
Yeah, all the best
I felt
As if my heart would pop

Cuz I'm still waiting for the wind to stop
Cuz I was waiting for the wind to stop
And I'm still waiting for the wind to stop
And I'm was waiting for the wind to stop
