Al Stewart - Midnight Rocks Lyrics






You say with best intention, lets throw away convention
Set sail across the water, to find the tides of fortune
I say please understand it, dont' let our love be stranded
upon the midnight rocks, upon the midnight rocks

You say theres no endeavour, we couldn't try together
no storm we couldn't weather, we'll ride the wind forever
I hear the words you've spoken, don't let our love be broken
Upon the midnight rocks, oh yeah, upon the midnight rocks.

Ahhh...you know you know its easy
Ahhh...to let it go believe me
Ahhh...you know you know you feel it
Ahhh...don't lose it when you need it

I know that fascination, with living each sensation
in your imagination, theres is no hesitation
I know your mind is turning, don't let our love lie burning
upon the midnight rocks, oh yeah, upon the midnight rocks.

I know that fascination, with living each sensation
in your imagination, there is no hesitation
I say please understand it, don't let our love be stranded
Upon the midnight rocks.

    "Midnight Rocks"

    You say with best intention, lets throw away convention
    Set sail across the water, to find the tides of fortune
    I say please understand it, dont' let our love be stranded
    upon the midnight rocks, upon the midnight rocks

    You say theres no endeavour, we couldn't try together
    no storm we couldn't weather, we'll ride the wind forever
    I hear the words you've spoken, don't let our love be broken
    Upon the midnight rocks, oh yeah, upon the midnight rocks.

    Ahhh...you know you know its easy
    Ahhh...to let it go believe me
    Ahhh...you know you know you feel it
    Ahhh...don't lose it when you need it

    I know that fascination, with living each sensation
    in your imagination, theres is no hesitation
    I know your mind is turning, don't let our love lie burning
    upon the midnight rocks, oh yeah, upon the midnight rocks.

    I know that fascination, with living each sensation
    in your imagination, there is no hesitation
    I say please understand it, don't let our love be stranded
    Upon the midnight rocks.

    I wish the saxophone solo ending to this song would continue for another three solid minutes! It's solid gold!

    this song went to #24 on the pop charts in 1980!!!

  5. p.... ....

    One dumbass idiot doesn’t rock.

  6. P.... B....

    Some people love the Saxon this song, Some people hate it. It's a great idea, but it just comes in too suddenly after the vocals. It's also a little bit out of tune in at one point,. If the had put a few bars of music between vocal and sax, build a little tension, and then done a better job with the build that the sax does, also maybe not cut back so suddenly to buffalos after the sax, they could have knocked it out of the park. It was a great idea!

    P.... B....

    Maybe you should produce a better one, eh genius?

  7. P.... B....
