William Elliott Whitmore - Midnight

Well, midnight rang out like a bell
And my heart sunk like a ship
Deliver me from this hell before I sleep

Well, my lungs can no longer breath
And my legs can no longer run
The only thing I need's for this day to be done

And the bluebird can sing but the crow's got the soul
And I'm a dog among kings with no self-control
And the only thing left's to try to live
These things on my back no one could forgive

Well, the sun shines behind us
And the storm is rollin' in
And we need something to remind us how to feel again

Well the blue bird can sing but the crow's got the soul
And I'm a dog among kings with no self-control
And the only thing left's to try to live
These things on my back no one could forgive

And I'm out on a limb but before that bow breaks
I'll have one final memory, worn by mistake
And when midnight fails, drop like a stone
I got a short fuse to burn and I'm a long way from home
