231211: Gone By Midnight

from Leap Songs, Part 2 by James Tristan Redding

/

lyrics

We lose someone every evening
And welcome someone else by dawn
If you're the one who's leaving
What would I do before you're gone

I'd write you a letter I'd sing you a song
And we'd swap funny stories we'd go on and on
Turns out anyone could leave us any day
Starting now I'll say the things I need to say
I could be gone by midnight so could you
Write me a letter sing me a tune

If we are waves crashing on the shore
Before returning to the ocean
Then it all means that much more
Speaking what we've spoken

Don't know why I fight my brother
Weighing down his heavy heart
Better we treat one another
Like brilliant shooting stars
