Lyrics Swan Song (Reconstruction Circa 1984) - The Mission

At the crossing of the border between the night and day
Where the lost and lonely find their twilight sway
And the curse of their existence is the loneliness they feel
Where waking up with a stranger′s the only thing from them that's real
So don′t sing me your swan song, baby
There's life left in this ol' dog yet
It ain′t over ′til it's over until the fat lady sings
It ain′t over 'til it′s over until the swan spreads
Her wings
And flies away
When you see the ache of lovers as they fumble
In the night
And you feel the wrench inside you as any ex lover might
You can say your time is over for love and all the heat
But a single stranger's kiss can always turn
The bitter into sweet
So don′t sing me your swan song, baby
There's still gas left in this tank
It ain't over ′til it′s over until the fat lady sings
It ain't over ′til it's over until the swan spreads
Her wings
It ain′t over 'til it′s over until the fat lady sings
It ain't over 'til it′s over until the swan spreads
Her wings
And flies away
Flies away
And flies away
Flies away
And flies away
So don′t sing me your swan song, baby
You're wonderful
You′re beautiful
Just give me your hands
Just give me your hands
You're wonderful
You′re beautiful
Just give me your hands
Give me your hands
You're wonderful
Beautiful
Just give me your hands
Just give me your hands
You′re wonderful
You're beautiful
Just give me your hands
Give me your hands
So don't sing me your swan song, baby
So don′t sing me
So don′t sing me your swan song, baby
So don't sing me your swan song, baby
There′s life left in this ol' dog yet
Beautiful
Wonderful
Wonderful
Beautiful
Wonderful
Beautiful
Wonderful
