So who wrote it and originally recorded it?

I really like my treatment of it. All comments, good or bad, accepted!

Here are the lyrics...

Midnight, on the water.

I saw the ocean's daughter

Walkin' on a wave's chicane

Staring as she called my name...

And I can't get it out of my head

No I can't get it out of my head

Now my old world is gone for dead

Cos I can't get it out of my head

Breakdown on the shore line

Can't move, it's an ebb tide.

Morning don't get here tonight

Searching for her silver light

(repeat chorus)

Bank job in the city;

Robin Hood and William Tell and Ivanhoe and Lancelot...

they don't envy me - yeah.

Sitting 'til the sun goes down;

In dreams the world keeps going round and round

(repeat chorus)
