Slaid Cleaves - Voice Of Midnight lyrics

Don't want to go too soon Don't want to stay too long Don't want to go too quick into the night Don't want to linger on and on Don't want to leave you a mess Don't want to cause a fuss Roll me into the hole And cover me up I'd like to know when it's coming Just a little time to prepare When the voice of midnight comes And into oblivion I stare There's no one waitin' on me No heaven or hell The only vow I make To live true and die well And when I'm gone, that's all I'll be blowin' 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 I was born under a lucky star And I'm thankful every day And I know that in the blink of an eye It will all be taken away Maybe an open field Under the stars and moon With the smell of the land and the air And not some hospital room I'll take my comfort in song To the bittersweet end I'll gently take my leave Safe in the memory of friends I'd like to know when it's coming Just a little time to prepare When the voice of midnight comes I hope you will be there
