Here goes everything down to the wire
|
I'm gonna sing like a canary on fire
|
and the world won't stop, but maybe you will stay
|
I apologize for rocking the boat
|
But my heart gets caught on those lumps in my throat
|
And these word just miss my lips somewhere along the way
|
|
You and me, we got no more illusions
|
wildcards or shadows of a doubt
|
But the end ain't a foregone conclusion
|
Oh baby can we live without illusions
|
|
Our long shadows cast here in the moonlight
|
cross the lawn and fade from our sight
|
and the world beyond is turning like a wheel
|
Every step we take is out of the past.
|
Everybody says "Darling, we won't last."
|
But they don't know what we know or feel what we feel
|
|
You and me, we got no more illusions
|
wildcards or shadows of a doubt
|
But the end ain't a foregone conclusion
|
Oh baby can we live without illusions
|
|
I can't pretend that the sparks are still flying
|
or the ember is burning stronger
|
At least by now I might be getting real good at trying
|
Can we try a little longer?
|
|
You and me, we got no more illusions
|
wildcards or shadows of a doubt
|
But the end ain't a foregone conclusion
|
Oh baby can we live without illusions
