Gently – You+Me

No, I wouldn’t mind
Going gently into the night
As long as it don’t hurt
I won’t put up a fight
To go beyond the time
When my hands and voice aren’t sold
To a world so overgrown
It’s moving so fast we should slow
Down

But as the shadows from the trees
Dance on the window pane,
Here I lie awake once again,
Longing for a dream
That may never come
Until I’m done
But I wouldn’t mind,
No, I wouldn’t mind

I can see it with my own two eyes
That I wouldn’t mind

I don’t care
If I vanish into thin air
As long as there ain’t pain
I won’t leave you that burden to bear
To live on the other side
So reckless and free to roam
With no fear of the unknown
But I’m moving too fast I should slow
Down

But as the shadows from the trees
Dance on the window pane
Here I lie awake once again
Longing for a dream
That may never come
Until I’m done
But I wouldn’t mind (no, no)
No, I wouldn’t mind

I can see it with my own two eyes
That I wouldn’t mind

If time is life’s great healer
It’s some bandit in disguise
Stealing all your memories
As each year passes by

It’s the same old story
Just told on a different day
Another lonesome journey
Down a dark hallway

But I wouldn’t mind (no, oh)
No, I wouldn’t mind

I can see it with my own two eyes
That I wouldn’t mind
I wouldn’t mind
