Once, I heard the whistle
Of a mournful midnight train
Sing a little duet
With a siren in the rain
They sang about true love
Between the damned and the devout
And, right then, for a moment
The fire in me blew out
And, for a moment, I felt my shackled heart unchained
It was right then…instant liberation
It was not long…but I was set free
It was release…for a moment
Love let go of me
Once, I saw the moon rise
As the sun climbed into bed
They both shone on each other
‘Til the sun blushed ruby red
And, then, a pair of swallows
Silhouetted ‘cross its face
And my heart pirouetted
Through the twilight with their grace
And, for a moment, I was not a prisoner of love
It was right then…a little liberation
It was so quick…but I was set free
It was release…for a moment
Love let go of me
