[00:18.902]I'm leaving by night,
[00:21.902]I'm leaving alone
[00:24.651]I'm leaving it lie when you waken
[00:28.901]I'll be gone
[00:30.152]I would not beg for me as
[00:32.651]I would not beg for you
[00:34.902]Though I'd like to be the one to see you through
[00:39.903]Every step you have taken disappears with the tide
[00:45.652]You're torn up and shaken with changing your mind
[00:50.902]You haven't got the grace to say you'll finally decide
[00:55.901]And you haven't got the strength to stay and fight
[01:00.901]Those people who surround you
[01:03.402]Only want to see you weak enough to crawl
[01:08.652]They'll lie for you, decide for you
[01:11.401]And buy up all your rights and all your wrongs
[01:16.152]And they'll try to stop your singing in the middle of your song
[01:22.901]For they do not want you free and they do not make you strong
[01:27.402]But only drag you down in the hole they're coming from
[01:32.901]They say you are foolish in wanting the sun
[01:38.152]Say you are selfish in learning to run
[01:43.402]And they'll tell you that the darkness is a blessing in disguise
[01:48.152]For you never have to notice if you're sighted or you're blind
[01:52.903]And they'll do their best to keep you from the light
[02:12.152]You're more than beginning, you're learning to fly
[02:17.651]You feel like you're falling but it passes in time
[02:22.651]I hate to see a friend go down in flames without a song
[02:27.401]So I'm waiting by the doorway but
[02:30.151]I will not linger long
[02:33.902]And I'm leaving by night,
[02:36.652]I'm leaving alone
[02:39.152]I'm leaving it lie, when you waken
[02:42.902]I'll be gone
[02:44.402]I would not beg for me as
[02:46.652]I could not beg for you
[02:48.903]But I'd like to be the one to see you through
