And five minutes more.
Verse 1
Five minutes to midnight,
She’s not sure it’s the right move
She pulls herself together,
Steps out on a journey
Written as she walks
In the northwestern part
Of Kansas,
The air is dry,
The dogs echo
in the background
Suspiciously.
Chorus
Magical journeys begin at midnight
And five minutes more,
Where the streetlights end
And the dry fields begin
The stars above stand as silent witnesses
To a new story
Starting now.
Starting now.
Starting now.
Verse 2
She walks, her shadow
A step ahead
The wheat fields around her
Bear witness to steps
Drifting away from
The streets of her childhood,
hemmmm, ye
She climbs onto a truck.
A driver, a cigarette,
Stepping on empty beer cans
All the way, her gaze out the window,
Counting the power poles.
Ye
Chorus
Magical journeys begin at midnight
And five minutes more,
Where the streetlights end
And the dry fields begin
The stars above stand as silent witnesses
To a new story
Starting now.
Starting now.
Starting now.
Final Chorus
Here a chapter in her past ends
And a new chapter begins
That is being written right now
Her name is Gloria,
And this is her song –
A song of freedom
Freedom
Hope
Hope
And faith.
outro
Magical journeys begin at midnight
And five minutes more
Magical journeys begin at midnight
And five minutes more
Starting now.
Starting now.
