Midsummer Night

Words & Music by Jameson Fox, 2021

She’s living north of Boston in a beat-up old town
She doesn’t want to leave it, she just won’t see what’s around
‘Cause when that sly, roaming evil come seek her
You know something evil’s abound
She’s gotta rest her soul all day
Cause all night she’s gonna dance around

Midsummer’s Night
Even by the fire light
The moon shadows on the ground

Another kettle’s boiling – all the shutters are down
Later in the evening she’s gonna dance to the sound of the hound
‘Cause when that sly, roaming evil come meet her
You know something evil’s abound
She’s the greatest of the creatures
And nothing’s gonna take her crown

Midsummer’s Night
Even by the fire light
The moon shadows on the ground

Caught in the crowd, won’t get away with it
The town is ablaze, she’s getting blamed for it
Slipping deeper, she’s getting lost in it
Slipping deeper…

She’s got the gallows waiting – you bet the town’s gonna gather around
When they listen to her breathing, they’ll hear the devil growling out loud
But when that sly, roaming evil come free her
You know something evil’s abound
Her garden is filled with whispers
Midsummer’s Night, that’s all that they found

Midsummer’s Night
Even by the fire light
The moon shadows on the ground
