Ortolan Lyrics by Graham Smith

Final Battle

2004

Out of the shadow and into the light
Of a candle it flies
And down to the pillow where your head still lies
To the window and into the night

And then you are awoken and you cry
And you cry
Your will is broken, so you swallow your pride

And go down to the meadow
Where the grass grows high
A crescendo of life

And the whispers of a willow
As it passes by
And fades into a silhouette amidst a starless sky

She'd love to be mistaken and she'll try
Oh, she'll try
But when it comes to life
She'll be shallow and trite

And I've got something shaking in my throat
And in the corner of my eye
But my mind is vacant
And I'm hollow inside

So out goes the candle
As the storm rolls by
I'll close the window
Goodnight
