Texty: Steve Winwood. Midland Maniac.
Take me away beyond the night
Take me away before the day
Happens nowhere else but here
Where can I go
Except for the show?
And sometime from now -and it won't be long
I'm gonna stay in my home country
And you see it, can you see it?
Let me tell you' bout someone I knew
Communicated but he didn't know how
Telepathy
Met a lady but he didn't know who
Midland maniac
Pouring out his soul to me
He's a prisoner but he thinks he's free
He has no one in the world to be
Let me tell you 'bout a thing or two
I sail the ocean just to get to you
Telepathy
I hear you calling but you can't get through
Midland maniac
Pouring out my soul to you
I hope you get it and I know you do
That is one thing I can do for you
Take you away beyond the night
Take you away before the day
Happens nowhere else but here
Where can I go- except for the show?
And sometime from now-and it won't be long
I'm gonna stay in my home country
And you see it, can you see it?
Take me away before the day
Happens nowhere else but here
Where can I go
Except for the show?
And sometime from now -and it won't be long
I'm gonna stay in my home country
And you see it, can you see it?
Let me tell you' bout someone I knew
Communicated but he didn't know how
Telepathy
Met a lady but he didn't know who
Midland maniac
Pouring out his soul to me
He's a prisoner but he thinks he's free
He has no one in the world to be
Let me tell you 'bout a thing or two
I sail the ocean just to get to you
Telepathy
I hear you calling but you can't get through
Midland maniac
Pouring out my soul to you
I hope you get it and I know you do
That is one thing I can do for you
Take you away beyond the night
Take you away before the day
Happens nowhere else but here
Where can I go- except for the show?
And sometime from now-and it won't be long
I'm gonna stay in my home country
And you see it, can you see it?
