The Last Encore - Lord

Tonight there’s a spark in the air

The last curtain call

With crowd growing restless

I take to the stage

To the cheers of their great enthrall

Under the fervid gaslights

The pleasure and pain

Reciting line after line from the heart

This moment unseen again

Oh, it’s so long ago, it all feels like yesterday

The thrill of the show, this chill never goes away, no

The roar of the crowd, the agony and ecstasy

That was then, this is now

Now it’s gone…

I’m walking through a moonless night

Keep searching for a new spotlight

And everyday it takes all my might

To make it through to morning light, oh

It must be two hundred years on

The years lost in time

Gets harder with each passing day to recall

The day that I died

Oh, it’s so long ago, it all feels like yesterday

The chill, it’s like snow, the cold never fades away, no

In a heartbeat, a breath, all stolen away from me

A man, once with dream, once with life

Now it’s gone…

And we all turned to bow, it was glorious

I’d give all I have for one just last encore…

Oh, it’s so long ago, it all feels like yesterday

The thrill of the show, this chill never goes away, no

In a heartbeat, a breath, all stolen away from me

A man, once with dream, once with life

Now it’s gone…
