Bum raps & love taps.
Teardrop on your cheek, how many woes you speak. You’ve been alone for so long.
When did you forget your song? When was your last kiss? How many lovers will you miss?
You’re tired and you’re lonely now, you don’t have to be lonely now. Time will not wait, though you pushed it aside.
Don’t be afraid, oh faded bride. Little bird out on a limb. It’s getting cold out and I can’t invite you in. Better not hold out.
Better fly away from here and leave behind your fear. Nothing is certain now and no one can show you how. Faith you couldn’t brave.
Finally you’ve been betrayed. Oh this dark wave knocked you down and swept you away and the old 78 is skipping.
Better be there when the band starts playing. Oh ruined maid, all the love you couldn’t save.
Now it’s getting late, slip softly into starlight, time to turn away.
They’ve been waiting on the other side, don’t be afraid, slip softly into starlight.
