Swan Song from IMMINENT by Gary Innes

Verse 1
There’s no easy way to start this song
There’s no easy way to end
I’ve fought long and hard against the tide
Waves now crash on my mind
As I cast through my yester years
To a stage, an age, my prime
The daze of youth now fades away
If only to turn back time.

This is my story,
My farewell swan song,
My last chance to say I love you
Just before the dawn
This is my story,
My farewell swan song,
My last chance to say I love you
Just before I’m gone.


Verse 2
There’s no easy way to sing this song
There’s no easy way to end
My voice is lost beneath a sea
Of heartache that can’t ascend
The coast lines a distant view
On its white sand lies my sail
While at the helm and turned full lock
I’m heading straight for a gale.

©
This is my story,
My farewell swan song,
My last chance to say I love you
Just before the dawn
This is my story,
My farewell swan song,
My last chance to say I love you
Just before I’m gone.


Verse 3
There was no easy way to start this song
Still no easy way to end
So let me bear my cross for you
My confidant and friend
This was my story
My farewell swan song
So lie your head down next to mine
I’ll not hold you for long.

This was my story,
My farewell swan song,
My last chance to say I love you
Just before the dawn
This is my story,
My farewell swan song,
My last chance to say I love you
Just before I’m gone.
