Thrill of fear

Flash of cruelty

Was what I sensed

Of the signs you were sending

Lives as one

But separated

Who'll draw the lines?

Who tells when it's too late?

And as the swans prepare for their leaving

Can't change what's done, it's unforgiven

Bitter is the taste of your way

Cannot rewind, can't take it back

The picture's clear

And so brave

But you wanted to have it

Your own way

Sometimes things are

As they seem

And as the swans prepare for their leaving

Can't change what's done, it's unforgiven

Bitter is the taste of your way

Cannot rewind, can't take it back

How long do we have?

How long do we have?

And as the swans prepare for their leaving

Can't change what's done, it's unforgiven

Bitter is the taste of your way

Cannot rewind, can't take it back

How long do we have?

As the swans prepare for their leaving

(How long do we have?)

Can't change what's done, it's unforgiven

(How long do we have?)

Bitter is the taste of your way

(How long do we have?)

Cannot rewind, can't take it back

As the swans prepare for their leaving
