Swan Song
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
This is no fond farewell
You can be sure I could wish it was no farewell at all
It's been a good long run
Oh to be sure I don't regret much
Not much at all
I'm gonna dance the night away
Gonna do what I want to any old day
And all at once I know the clouds are gonna clear for me
And I will do alright
Well in truth, I might
I may be stumbling round on some cold night
I will miss the times when we were so right
Although it seems so long ago, so long
This is my swan snog, I'm gone, gone
This is no sorrowful day
You can be sure I've got no axe to grind at all
It's circumstance or burn out
You can be sure I've been grinding
Till I'm grinding to a halt
Sometimes it's the right thing to cut the cord
You've been holding on hard but your hands get sore
Sometimes it's worth it, but sometimes you wonder what for
And I will do alright
Well in truth, I might
I may be stumbling round on some cold night
I will miss the times when we were so right
Although it seems so long ago, so long
This is my swan snog, I'm gone, gone
And I will do alright
Well in truth, I might
I may be stumbling round in some dim light
I will miss the times when it was so rightAlthouhg it seems so long ago, so long
This is my swan song, I'm gone, gone
