Midnight - William Elliott Whitmore

Midnight rang out like a bell

And my heart sunk like a ship

Deliver me from this hell before I slip

My lungs can no longer breath

And my legs can no longer run

The only thing I need is for this day to be done

The bluebird can sing

But the crows got the soul

I’m a dog among kings with no self control

The only thing left is to try to live

With the sins on my back no one could forgive

The sunshine is behind us

And the storm is rolling in

We need something to remind us how to feel again

I’m out on a limb

But before that bough breaks

I’ll have one final memory of all my mistakes

When midnight feel it dropped like a stone

I’ve got a short fuse to burn

And I’m a long way from home
