The Last Songbird

The sun went down like a vision on the hill she knows she never knew him and she’s knows she never will and the band played Where’s Your Lost Love Gone? on and there was nothing too good for this English Rose he 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 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 so 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 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 could anybody resist? He keeps her under lock and key She keeps him on her 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 a case of the last shakedown? while the world spins every way but 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 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 --- The Last Songbird - The Fratellis
