Lasting Song

Tom Cochrane


Won't be the first time you sit alone 
Won't be the first time you wait by the phone 
Won't be the last time you drift away 
To some place we were such a long time ago 
We would move like ghosts in the night 
Always looking for some cause to fight 
You'd always look for some cool James Dean type 
We tried to make it 
Like it was up on the screen 
You know, only fools believe 
What they cannot see 
And only fools put their hands in the fire 
Again and again 
To see how it feels back in 
CHORUS 
No, I don't want to hear you say 
That it won't happen like this anymore 
And while the radio plays 
I'll sing that lasting song again 
And again 
We're shadows dancing from a fires embrace 
Where time is passing in a wild nights race 
You are the moon and I'll be the sun 
Forget about who has lost and who's won tonight 
You know, only fools believe 
What they want to see 
And only fools put their hands in the fire 
Again and again 
To see how it feels back in 
CHORUS 
Though I'm miles away 
I can still hear her say 
Play that song for me 
Once again she said 
The one thing that gets me high 
The one that keeps me strong 
Through another day 
Into the lonely night 
Again and again 
Won't be the last time I sing you that song 
Under these lights so far from home again 
CHORUS (twice)
