Gordon Lightfoot Forums - View Single Post - Help with Song Title? Partial Lyrics Inside

loveyagord · 06-27-2003, 08:54 AM

Hi Everyone,

It's been quite a while since I've posted, but I still check in once in a while. I'm wishing the best for Gordon and am hoping for some great songs/new CDs and his return to the stage in 2004.

I heard this song and can't identify it and thought you could help with this. This song is live.

Here are some of the lyrics:

The stars are ?alive? in the heavens tonight.
The moon shines under the trees.
The sound of the ?plane? at the midnight hour sets my mind at ease.

Were it not for a mouse in the corner of a house,
where would the nighttime be?

I work for the man and I never get it right.
I appreciate family and friends...
And (with?)a tear and a smile and a ------
It's how my daytime ends...
-------------------
I did a search of lyrics and was unable to find them. Does anyone know the title/album and/or any of the circumstances around the song? Thanks for your help.

[I] love ya, Gord.
