[00:00.00]Voice of Midnight - Slaid Cleaves
[00:14.41]Don't want to go too soon
[00:17.85]Don't want to stay too long
[00:21.27]Don't want to go too quick into the night
[00:25.03]Don't want to linger on and on
[00:28.31]Don't want to leave you a mess
[00:31.87]Don't want to cause a fuss
[00:35.51]Roll me into the hole
[00:39.50]And cover me up
[00:43.20]I'd like to know when it's coming
[00:46.64]Just a little time to prepare
[00:49.91]When the voice of midnight comes
[00:52.71]And into oblivion I stare
[01:00.26]There's no one waitin' on me
[01:03.74]No heaven or hell
[01:07.20]The only vow I make
[01:10.82]To live true and die well
[01:14.39]And when I'm gone I'm gone
[01:17.72]You hear my name in the wind
[01:21.28]Up to the great beyond
[01:24.96]Back to where we begin
[01:29.00]Will I hold onto the courage
[01:32.52]To say goodbye to a life so dear
[01:35.77]When the voice of midnight comes
[01:38.41]Will grace overcome fear
[01:43.49]I was born under a lucky star
[01:47.05]And I'm thankful every day
[01:50.51]And I know that in the blink of an eye
[01:54.02]It will all be taken away
[02:26.88]Maybe an open field
[02:30.22]Under the stars and moon
[02:33.65]With the smell of the land and the air
[02:37.32]And not some hospital room
[02:40.79]I'll take my comfort in song
[02:44.34]To the bittersweet end
[02:47.89]I'll gently take my leave
[02:51.37]Safe in the memory of friends
[02:55.15]I'd like to know when it's coming
[02:59.06]Just a little time to prepare
[03:02.21]When the voice of midnight comes
[03:05.22]I hope you will be there
