This is the last song

This is the last song I'll sing for you

This is the last song

This is the last song I can give you

The roaring city sleeps

Metal fingers clutching dirty sheets

And no one comes for free

In this place where the angels sleep

This is the last song



My eyes are open

My eyes are open wonder to this

As you hold the secrets

I count the minutes off so perfectly

The shards of broken glass

Sing the strains of a sad old tune

We've made it at last

But what we had is lost inside our past

This is the last song



Could you find away across me

To forgive and forget me

To appease and relent me

To deceive and detect me

To understand and release me

To the dawn

This is the last song
