The Last Nail - Dan Fogelberg[00:00:01]
I saw you running[00:00:24]
Ahead of the crowd[00:00:27]
I chased but never thought I'd catch you [00:00:30]
You said you loved me[00:00:36]
But you had to be free[00:00:39]
And I let you[00:00:42]
Why did I let you[00:00:47]
We walked together[00:00:49]
Through the gardens and graves[00:00:52]
I watched you grow[00:00:55]
To be a woman[00:00:57]
Living on promises[00:01:02]
That nobody gave[00:01:04]
To no one[00:01:07]
They were given to no one[00:01:13]
I started listening[00:01:30]
To the wind and the rain[00:01:32]
You strained your ears[00:01:36]
But could hear nothing[00:01:38]
One night I thought[00:01:42]
I heard them[00:01:45]
Whisper my name[00:01:45]
And I went running[00:01:48]
I left a trail of footprints[00:01:55]
Deep in the snow[00:01:58]
I swore one day[00:02:01]
I would retrace them[00:02:03]
But when I turned around[00:02:08]
I found that the wind[00:02:10]
Had erased them[00:02:13]
Now I'll never replace them[00:02:19]
Fly away my sweet bird over the land[00:02:37]
Take life for all the freedom you can[00:02:43]
But if you ever should need a man[00:02:49]
Well the offer still stands[00:02:54]
I hear you've taken on a husband and child[00:03:23]
And live somewhere in Pennsylvania[00:03:29]
I never thought you'd ever sever the string[00:03:35]
But I can't blame you none[00:03:41]
So let the ashes fall[00:03:48]
And lay where they will[00:03:51]
Just say that once[00:03:54]
You used to know me[00:03:56]
One last time sing that old song[00:04:01]
We used to know[00:04:03]
But this time sing oh this time sing[00:04:06]
A little more slowly[00:04:16]
Fly away my sweet bird over the land[00:04:33]
Take life for all the freedom you can[00:04:39]
But if you ever should need a man[00:04:45]
Well the offer still stands[00:04:50]
