Oh no, oh no
I think it's time for me to run
Well, I've been working all the summer
Waiting for the winter to come, uh-o-o-o-ome
And if you feel like reminiscing
Walk out into the midnight sun

Oh yeah (oh yeah), oh yeah (oh yeah)
I think I've been away too long
Well, I've been coming and I'm going
And all the time, it's growing with fun, u-u-u-uh-un
And if you feel there's something's missing
Walk out into the midnight sun

Never be a gooseberry, for gooseberries should never see
That the one who's lookin' at you
Lookin' at the one who's seeing me

Oh yeah (oh yeah), oh yeah (oh yeah)
I think I've been away too long
Well, I've been waiting all the summer
Counting all the trophy's I've a-won, o-o-o-o-o-on
And if you feel like reminiscing
Walk out into the midnight sun

Walk on boy
[guitar solo]

Oh no (oh no), oh no (oh no)
I think it's time for me to run
Well, I've been working all the summer
Waiting for the winter to come, uh-o-o-o-ome
And if you feel like reminiscing
Walk out into the midnight sun

And if you feel there's something missing
Walk out into the midnight sun.
And if you feel like reminiscing
Walk out into the midnight sun

MIDNIGHT SUN - demo (Pete Ham)
[Iveys demo from "Golden Delicious Demos (1966-69)" CD - recorded 1969 - released U.S. 2022]

Oh no, oh no
I think it's time for me to run
Well, I've been working all the summer
Waiting for the winter to come, uh-o-o-o-ome
And if you feel like reminiscing
Walk out into the midnight sun

Oh yeah (oh yeah), oh yeah (oh yeah)
I think I've been away too long
Well, I've been coming and I'm going
And all the time, it's growing with fun, u-u-u-uh-un
And if you feel like something's missing
Walk out into the midnight sun

Well, never be a gooseberry, for gooseberries should never see
That the one who's lookin' at you
Lookin' at the one who's seeing me

Oh yeah (oh yeah), oh yeah (oh yeah)
I'm coming now, the job is done
Well, I've been waiting all the summer
Counting all the trophy's I've won, o-o-o-o-o-on
And if you feel like reminiscing
Walk out into the midnight sun

Yeah, walk on boy
[guitar solo]

Oh no (oh no), oh no (oh no)
I think it's time for me to run (da, da, da da da da)
Well, I've been working all the summer
Waiting for the winter to come, uh-o-o-o-ome
And if you feel like reminiscing
Walk out into the midnight sun

And if you feel like reminiscing
Walk out into the midnight sun
Well, if you feel like reminiscing
Walk out into the midnight sun
