《The Last Nail》歌词

[00:05:30] I saw you running

[00:05:30] Ahead of the crowd

[00:05:30] I chased but never thought

[00:05:30] I'd catch you.

[00:05:30] You said you loved me

[00:05:30] But you had to be free

[00:05:30] And I let you.

[00:05:30] Why did I let you?

[00:05:30] We walked together

[00:05:30] Through the gardens and graves

[00:05:30] I watched you grow

[00:05:30] To be a woman.

[00:05:30] Living on promises

[00:05:30] That nobody gave

[00:05:30] To no one.

[00:05:30] They were given to no one.

[00:05:30] I started listening

[00:05:30] To the wind and the rain.

[00:05:30] You strained your ears

[00:05:30] But could hear nothing.

[00:05:30] One night I thought

[00:05:30] I heard them

[00:05:30] Whisper my name.

[00:05:30] And I went running.

[00:05:30] I left a trail of footprints

[00:05:30] Deep in the snow

[00:05:30] I swore one day

[00:05:30] I would retrace them.

[00:05:30] But when I turned around

[00:05:30] I found that the wind

[00:05:30] Had erased them.

[00:05:30] Now I'll never replace them.

[00:05:30] Fly away, my sweet bird over the land

[00:05:30] Take life for all the freedom you can

[00:05:30] But if you ever should need a man

[00:05:30] Well, the offer still stands.

[00:05:30] I hear you've taken on a husband and child

[00:05:30] and live somewhere in Pennsylvania

[00:05:30] I never thought you'd ever sever the string

[00:05:30] But I can't blame you none.

[00:05:30] So let the ashes fall

[00:05:30] And lay where they will

[00:05:30] Just say that once

[00:05:30] You used to know me.

[00:05:30] One last time sing that old song

[00:05:30] We used to know

[00:05:30] But this time sing

[00:05:30] A little more slowly.

[00:05:30] Fly away, my sweet bird over the land

[00:05:30] Take life for all the freedom you can

[00:05:30] But if you ever should need a man

[00:05:30] Well, the offer still stands.
