Midnight Moonlight Lyrics

She flies through the night on silver wings
With a smile, no obligation
She says, "Walk with me, I'll take you down
Through the storm to your destination"

She says, "Hold me now, I'll take you there
To the dawning of a new creation"

Midnight Moonlight lady
Bird on the wing, she is flying to greet me
Bird on the wing, she is flying to me

The night is waiting
She must know how I feel
In the neon darkness
She is all that is real

I know it must be a dream
Will she be gone tomorrow
But tonight the world is still
And I can feel no sorrow
But tonight the world is still
And I can feel no sorrow

Midnight moonlight lady
Bird on the wing, she is flying to greet me
Bird on the wing, she is flying to me

She says, "Take me from this wilderness
I want to be where I won't be lonely
Take me from this wilderness
I want to be where I can see
Take me from this wilderness
I want to be where I can be free, yeah"

See the shadows dancing
'Cross the moonlight in her eyes
See a vision forming
And it comes as no surprise
Could it be a warning
That love grows before it dies

See the shadows dancing
'Cross the moonlight in her eyes
See a vision forming
And it comes as no surprise
Could it be a warning
That love hurts before it satisfies

She keeps her secrets with her eyes
Like the moon behind a silver cloud
She holds my memory with her smile
Am I dreaming now, spinning 'round
Let her take it all away

Every time I turn around
I know she is there
Every time I turn around
She's everywhere

Midnight moonlight lady
Midnight moonlight lady

Come on, shine your light on me, baby
I want to learn the secrets of the night
Let the moonlight smile on me, baby
Show me the secrets of the night
Midnight moonlight lady

Bird on the wing, she is flying to me

Midnight Moonlight

The Firm were a supergroup comprising vocalist Paul Rodgers (Free, Bad Company), guitarist Jimmy Page (Led Zeppelin), drummer Chris Slade (Uriah Heep, Manfred Mann's Earth Band), and bassist Tony Franklin (later of Whitesnake and Quiet Riot). The band started when Rodgers and Page casually started recording together. This was the first song they wrote as a pair.

Rodgers told the story of the song to Uncut magazine: "One day he (Page) bought round a cassette and said, 'Would you like to write some lyrics to this?' It was 19 minutes long, it was absolutely fantastic! I said, 'I don't know that I can, can we shorten it?' So we got it down to nine minutes, and he was happy with the results. I said to him, 'It's funny, the chorus seems to have an extra bar in it.' And he goes, 'Well, it does. It's in 9/4.' That's the kind of thing he threw in with Led Zeppelin."
