Gently
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
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 our hands and voice are 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
Waiting 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
Waiting 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
Time is life's great healer
It's a 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 I wouldn't mind
I can see it with my own two eyes
That I wouldn't mind
I wouldn't mind
