Swansong

And even though the world is slowly ending And even though you stand in front of me And even though the love I had is over, can you remember the times that used to be? And even though I'll never lose my feelings And even though my love for you is strong And even though your life is never ending will you smile at others never to be wrong? You'll sell the one beside you for another You'll watch the world smiling from the page Listen to the sound of adulation and the quiet careful compliments are made The people stand around you and are watching The people wait in silence for their death Do not try to think the time is passing; do not even think that I have left. The swan swims down the riverside, she watches me with gentle eyes I raise the gun and aim the sight: I pull the trigger firing blind The blood flows down the lonely side, it stains the feathers red from white I cannot stop a quiet cry as morning changes into night And even though the world is slowly ending And even though you stand in front of me And even though the love I had is over, can you remember the times that used to be? And even though I'll never lose my feelings And even though my love for you is strong And even though your life is never ending will you smile at others never to be wrong? Will you smile at others never to be wrong?
