Dan Fogelberg - The Last Nail слова песни
I saw you runningAhead of the crowdI chased but never thoughtId catch you.You said you loved meBut you had to be freeAnd I let you.Why did I let you? We walked togetherThrough the gardens and gravesI watched you growTo be a woman.Living on promisesThat nobody gaveTo no one.They were given to no one.I started listeningTo the wind and the rain.You strained your earsBut could hear nothing.One night I thoughtI heard themWhisper my name.And I went running.I left a trail of footprintsDeep in the snowI swore one dayI would retrace them.But when I turned aroundI found that the windHad erased them.Now Ill never replace them.Fly away, my sweet bird over the landTake life for all the freedom you canBut if you ever should need a manWell, the offer still stands.I hear youve taken on a husband and childAnd live somewhere in pennsylvaniaI never thought youd ever sever the stringBut I cant blame you none.So let the ashes fallAnd lay where they willJust say that onceYou used to know me.One last time sing that old songWe used to knowBut this time singA little more slowly.Fly away, my sweet bird over the landTake life for all the freedom you canBut if you ever should need a manWell, the offer still stands.
