Kate & Anna McGarrigle - Midnight Flight lyrics

rate me

Now I think it's time to go

For I have prolonged my stay

I can tell by the clouds that cover the moon

That it's time to be on my way

I could take that flight at midnight

Or set sail with the rising tide

My bags are packed, I won't be back

Quietly out of your life I'll slide

Now I'm not saying that I want to go

You're not saying that you want me to stay

And this moment doesn't come easy or often

So I'll take advantage and be on my way

Bye bye bye bye

Bye bye bye bye

Bye bye baby bye bye

Cry cry cry cry

Cry cry cry

Bye bye baby bye bye

Why oh why must I fly away

While you can stay

Why must I say bye bye

Bye bye bye bye

Ooh ooh...

Bye bye

Ooh... bye bye

Now I don't know where I'm going

Or how long I will be away

Whether it's dark as the North Pole in winter

Or as bright as a summer's day

The time has come I hear the final call

All aboard for the Midnight Flight

Though the pain is deep

I know I'll fall asleep

And wake up in tomorrow's light

Bye bye baby

Bye bye...
