Nanci Griffith - Midnight In Missoula lyrics

(Nanci Griffith)

Are you sleeping now?

It's midnight in Missoula

Where the Black Hills know your name

Is the snow piled high around your window frame?

Is there enough frost left to write our names upon the pane?

Chorus

Are you sleeping now?

It's midnight in Missoula

Are you sleeping now?

It's midnight in Missoula

I am down in Rio where I cannot find the sky

Our savior on that mountaintop has taught my soul to fly

I am singing Gershwin and children's lullabies

And wondering of you

And if you're sleeping in Missoula tonight?

Chorus

I'd love to climb your hilltop and look out upon Missoula lights

Sing Samuel Barber melodies with your viola sweet and high

But I am off to Liverpool on an early evening flight

And wondering of you

And if you're sleeping in Missoula tonight

Chorus

Repeat First Verse

Chorus

Are you sleeping now?

Do you know how much I love ya?

Are you sleeping now?

It's midnight in Missoula
