lyrics

AT THE WAY STATION
(Strider/Getz)
In the middle of Winter
In the middle of life
I was looking for the sunshine
In the middle of the night
I have escaped now from the daily grind
I'm out of the loop, oh yeah
I've done my time

At The Way Station
Waiting for the moon to rise
At The Way Station
Soon my train will arrive
Gonna beat the odds
Gonna get out of Dodge
At The Way Station
Goin' ready or not

Slained my dragons
Fought the enemy within
Said good-bye to my former life
And my so-called friends
I'll find my city
And there I shall abide
I'll find some peace, oh yeah,
A little peace of mind

At The Way Station
Waiting for the moon to rise
At The Way Station
Soon my train will arrive
Gonna beat the odds
Gonna get out of Dodge
At The Way Station
Goin' ready or not

In a new place
I shall renew my faith

At The Way Station
Waiting for the moon to rise
At The Way Station
Soon my train will arrive
Gonna beat the odds
Gonna get out of Dodge
At The Way Station
Goin' ready or not
At The Way Station
Goin' ready or not
