about

We love that Judith and Benny took an old fiddle tune, and wrote lyrics that give us goosebumps.

lyrics

No one was out in hour eleven
No one was watching one last moonrise
In the town they all slept, undisturbed by my engines
Though I tore through the still of their midnight sky

Twenty one years, I lied about my age
They taught me to fly, they gave me a plane
And with my country as my witness, and my orders to obey
It was midnight on the water when I blew that town away

Midnight on the water
Moon, town, sky
Midnight on the water
Goodbye

I know that town, or another just like it
I have brothers and sisters and a mother still there
In my dream they are sleeping down by the water
It's a beautiful picture from high in the air

Then I'm down in the town calling everybody's name
No one can hear me, no one can see the plane
And then I wake up in a cold sweat—every night it is the same
Midnight on the water and I can't go home again
