Swan Song (Reconstruction Circa 1984)

At the crossing of the border between the night and day

Where the lost and lonely find their twilight sway

And the curse of their existence is the loneliness they feel

Where waking up with a stranger's the only thing from them that's real

So don't sing me your swan song, baby

There's life left in this ol' dog yet

It ain't over 'til it's over until the fat lady sings

It ain't over 'til it's over until the swan spreads

Her wings

And flies away

When you see the ache of lovers as they fumble

In the night

And you feel the wrench inside you as any ex lover might

You can say your time is over for love and all the heat

But a single stranger's kiss can always turn

The bitter into sweet

So don't sing me your swan song, baby

There's still gas left in this tank

It ain't over 'til it's over until the fat lady sings

It ain't over 'til it's over until the swan spreads

Her wings

It ain't over 'til it's over until the fat lady sings

It ain't over 'til it's over until the swan spreads

Her wings

And flies away

Flies away

And flies away

Flies away

And flies away

So don't sing me your swan song, baby

You're wonderful

You're beautiful

Just give me your hands

Just give me your hands

You're wonderful

You're beautiful

Just give me your hands

Give me your hands

You're wonderful

Beautiful

Just give me your hands

Just give me your hands

You're wonderful

You're beautiful

Just give me your hands

Give me your hands

So don't sing me your swan song, baby

So don't sing me

So don't sing me your swan song, baby

So don't sing me your swan song, baby

There's life left in this ol' dog yet

Beautiful
