I close my eyes, it´s a quarter to midnight
I´m losing time, Mr Death is here
This can´t be right, this can´t be my time
Just wait a second, need to befriend my fears
[Chorus:]
It is time to get in
I´ll be free from my sins
Wait a minute, hold on, one last dawn
It is freezing my skin
I´ll be gone with the wind
Come tomorrow, baby - I´ll be gone
I´ve shut you out, this demon is my crime
This little voice that come speaking of death
I´ll write him off, try with a fake rhyme
Just wait a second, need to take one last breath
“Now it reveals it´s hidden side, and now the other
— thus it falls, an autumn leaf.”
(Ryokan, 1831)
