Midnight Flight

Kate & Anna Mcgarrigle


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...
