Another great song from Cliff's 1973 movie "Take Me High". More coming your way. Enjoy. Note the air ticket Cliff's holding at the end of song. Good ol' BOAC.
Here's the lyrics (requested by lukeyboi889)
Midnight Blue
Here's to you, your solitairy sleeper as you face another long and lonely night
Put the tom cat out in the yard and turn out the light (switch off)
Rest your head and close your weary dippers as you try to keep those memories at bay
And from now on start trying, not to toss your sleepy time away
'Cos weary eyes and weary shoulders won't bring 'em back to you
You used to be a man of color and now you're midnight blue
Your weary eyes and weary shoulders won't bring 'em back, it's true (yes, it's true)
You used to be a man of color once but now you're midnight blue
Rest your head and close your weary dippers as you try to keep those memories at bay
And from now on start trying, not to toss your sleepy time away
'Cos weary eyes and weary shoulders won't bring 'em back to you
You used to be a man of color and now you're midnight blue
Your weary eyes and weary shoulders won't bring 'em back, it's true (yes, it's true)
You used to be a man of color once but now you're midnight blue
Thank you so much for posting this. I've been looking this up for almost 40 years, as well as the other sound tracks, from that particular movie...which I could not find in CD or other music format. Now I finally have it. Again, thanks a lot.
