Because here's the thing
To know how it ends and still begin to sing it again
As if it might turn out this time
I learned that from a friend of mine
(Mmm)
See, Orpheus was a poor boy
Anybody got a match?
But he had a gift to give
Give me that
He could make you see how the world could be
In spite of the way that it is
Can you see it? (Mmm)
Can you hear it? (Mmm)
Can you feel it?
Like a train
Is it coming?
Is it coming this way?
On a sunny day there was a railroad car (Mmm)
And a lady stepping off a train
Everybody looked and everybody saw (Mmm)
That spring had come again
With a love song (With a love song) (With a love song)
With a tale of a love from long ago
It's a sad song (It's a sad song) (It's a sad song)
But we keep singin' even so
It's an old song (It's an old song) (It's an old song)
It's an old tale from way back when
And we're gonna sing it again and again
We're gonna sing
We're gonna sing!
It's a love song (It's a love song) (It's a love song)
It's a tale of a love from long ago
It's a sad song (It's a sad song) (It's a sad song)
We keep singing even so
It's an old song (It's an old song)
An old, old, old tale from way back when
And we're gonna sing it again and again
We're gonna sing it again
