(Hugh Prestwood)

Since I heard the whistle
Of a mournful midnight train
Sing a little duet
With a siren in the rain
The 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 theninstant liberation
It was not longbut I was set free
It was releasefor 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 thena little liberation
It was so quickbut I was set free
It was releasefor a moment love let go of me
