The Voice of Midnight By Slaid Cleaves (Intro) Dont want to go too soon Dont want to stay too long Dont want to go too quick into the night Dont want to linger on and on Dont want to leave you a mess Dont want to cause a fuss Roll me into the hole Cover me up Id like to know when its comin Just a little time to prepare When the voice of midnight comes And into oblivion I stare Theres no one waitin on me No heaven or hell The only vow I make To live true and die well And when Im gone, Im gone Youll hear my name in the wind Up to the great beyond Back to where we begin Will I hold onto the courage To say goodbye to a life so dear When the voice of midnight comes Will grace overcome fear (Bridge) I was born under a lucky star And Im thankful every day And I know in the blink of an eye It will all be taken away (Interlude) Maybe an open field Under the stars and moon With the smell of the land and the air And not some hospital room Ill take my comfort in song To the bittersweet end And then Ill take my leave Safe in the memory of friends Id like to know when its comin Just a little time to prepare When the voice of midnight comes I hope youll be there
