Henry's Songbook

I've sung it all tonight
Almost every story I know
And soon when they turn out the lights
I'm not sure where I'm supposed to go
I'm getting hoarse and I can't get the high notes
Just a whisper when I'm singing down low
But when you sing from the inside
You hope that something shows

That's why you're the only song
You're the only song I need
You're my laughter, you're my lonely song
You're the harvest, you're the seed
You're my first song, you're my final song
Yes, you own me indeed
And that's why, after all's said and done
You are the one song I need

I've sung my songs to silence
To empty clubs, to crowded bars
I've sung my songs to standing room
I've even sung them to the stars
But the faces soon fade together
And the applause is gone so fast
And the story of every darkened stage
Is that the glory doesn't last
That's why, after all's said and done
You are the one song I need

(as sung by Iain MacKintosh)
