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 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
