Lyrics

Last Rung

[Verse 1]

Why all this gloom in my mind's eye?

Gone to my head like sweet wine

Midnight whispers so quietly

I turn to look, but it might be

A song sung

From the last rung

[Verse 2]

When night air is thick with misty rain

And your tears spill like champagne

One that's gone that you hoped for

Looks like one that you prayed for

A prayer you hung

From the last rung
