  • You say with best intention
    Let's throw away convention
    Set sail across the water
    To find the tides of fortune
    I say please understand it
    Don't let our love be stranded
    Upon the midnight rocks
    Upon the midnight rocks

    You say there's no endeavour
    We couldn't try together
    No storm we couldn't weather
    We'll ride the wind forever
    I hear the words you've spoken
    Don't let our love be broken
    Upon the midnight rocks
    Upon the midnight rocks

    Ah, you know you know it's easy
    Ah, to let it go believe me
    Ah, you know, you know you feel it
    Ah, don't lose it when you need it

    I know that fascination
    With living each sensation
    In your imagination
    There is no hesitation
    I know your mind is turning
    Don't let our love lie burning
    Upon the midnight rocks
    Upon the midnight rocks

    I know that fascination
    With living each sensation
    In your imagination
    There is no hesitation
    I say please understand it
    Don't let our love be stranded

  • Dave Schacht from Lakemoor, IlI think that this is a great song and that it's a disgrace that so-called "Classic Rock" stations don't play it. In fact, the only Al Stewart track that you're likely to hear on those stations is "Year Of The Cat." For some reason, they don't even play "Time Passages."
  • Libhy Esther Berman from Louisville KyAnother haunting by the infamous Mandi, & an unresolved situation.
  • Rik from Arizona, UsaAl once told me that he didn't really care for this track. It was simply to appease the record company who wanted another Year Of The Cat.
  • Meocyber from Alma Co.Disagree w/ story author. Another intelligent tale by Al. Again he uses another cool equating of stormy love w/ a stormy ship on the ocean. Not his very finest but still smart, refined.
