The Last Songbird

The sun went down like a vision on a hill
 She knows she never knew him and she knows she never will
 And the band played "Where's your lost love gone?"
 On and on
 There was nothing too good for this English rose
 Knew she had a heart but where God only knows
 So he left her nowhere bound
 Listen to the sound
 Of one hand clap in the pale of the moonlight
 All those years frozen in the spotlight
 Nowhere now maybe somehow
 They just burned too bright?
 Even when they won they always
 Lost themselves to the sideways glances
 Praying to the saints of doomed romances
 Tell their tale, love is not for sale
 It's a word you heard
 The last songbird
 They walked for miles in the dead heat sun
 From those memories they could never outrun
 And the band played "Where did our love go?"
 Who could know?
 He would throw himself at her feet and plead
 You give me everything I want and nothing that I need
 But to you I'm always bound
 Listen to the sound
 Of one hand clap in the pale of the moonlight
 All those years frozen in the spotlight
 Nowhere now maybe somehow
 They just burned too bright?
 Even when they won they always
 Lost themselves to the sideways glances
 Praying to the saints of doomed romances
 Tell their tale love is not for sale
 It's a word you heard
 The last songbird
 Under this crooked spell, how can anybody resist?
 He keeps her under lock and key she keeps him on the to-do list
 Porcelain nights and skin tight moves
 They live between the comedy and comedown blues
 In love and war, all is lost and found
 Is it just the case of the last shakedown?
 While the world spins every way 'round and around
 All is simple on the upside down
 Listen to the sound of
 One hand clap in the pale of the moonlight
 All those years frozen in the spotlight
 Nowhere now maybe somehow
 They just burned too bright?
 Even when they won they always
 Lost themselves to the sideways glances
 Praying to the saints of doomed romances
 Tell their tale love is not for sale
 It's a word you heard
 The last songbird
