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)
