Bum Raps And 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

Slip softly into starlight

Starlight
