The Last Nail Lyrics

	作词 : Fogelberg
	Lyrics：Dan Fogelberg Music：Dan Fogelberg
	I saw you running
	Ahead of the crowd
	I chased but never thought
	I'd catch you.
	You said you loved me
	But you had to be free
	And I let you.
	Why did I let you?
	We walked together
	Through the gardens and graves
	I watched you grow
	To be a woman.
	Living on promises
	That nobody gave
	To no one.
	They were given to no one.
	I started listening
	To the wind and the rain.
	You strained your ears
	But could hear nothing.
	One night I thought
	I heard them
	Whisper my name.
	And I went running.
	I left a trail of footprints
	Deep in the snow
	I swore one day
	I would retrace them.
	But when I turned around
	I found that the wind
	Had erased them.
	Now I'll never replace them.
	Fly away, my sweet bird over the land
	Take life for all the freedom you can
	But if you ever should need a man
	Well, the offer still stands.
	I hear you've taken on a husband and child
	and live somewhere in Pennsylvania
	I never thought you'd ever sever the string
	But I can't blame you none.
	So let the ashes fall
	And lay where they will
	Just say that once
	You used to know me.
	One last time sing that old song
	We used to know
	But this time sing
	A little more slowly.
	Fly away, my sweet bird over the land
	Take life for all the freedom you can
	But if you ever should need a man
	Well, the offer still stands.
