Once I heard the whistle

Of a mournful midnight train

Sing a little duet

With a siren in the rain

They sang about true love

Between the damned and the devout

And right then for a moment

The fire in me blew out



And for a moment I felt my shackled heart unchained



It was right then...instant liberation

It was not long...but I was set free

It was release...for a moment love let go of me



Once, I saw the moon rise

As the sun climbed into bed

They both shone on each other

'Til the sun blushed ruby red

And, then, a pair of swallows

Silhoutted 'cross its face

And my heart piroutted

Through the twilight with their grace



And, for a moment, I was not a prisoner of love



It was right then...a little liberation

It was so quick...but I was set free

It was release...for a moment, love let go of me
