The end of the game

Though he heard her clearly
She said it so sincerely
That´s something that he doesn´t understand
Her words were choked and broken
She left him with a token
The note he is holding in his hand
(Don´t let me down, don´t let me down)
Is this the end of the game
And will you put out the flame
And fly away
Don´t fly away
Now let´s find out who´s too blame
And start all over again
Don´t fly away
Don´t fly away
Way across the city
Waiting on a taxi
Holding cases
Standing in the hall
Thinking "well if only"
She´s feeling sad and lonely
Hoping ´gainst all hope that he will call
Don´t let me down
Don´t let me down
Is this the end of the game
And should I put out the flame
And fly away, and fly away
And if I walk out again
Is it true that the pain
Will fly away, fly away
Fly away
The taxi driver´s talking
But she doesn´t hear a single word he says
Fly away,
The tears fall so easily
Keep falling ´til she climbs aboard the plane
And it´s the end of the game
With only fortune to blame
[Solo]
Yes, it´s the end of the game
But love was given in vain
Sail away, sail away
Just like the sunshine and rain
It´s true that one day will pain will fly away
Fly away, fly away
She said it so sincerely
That´s something that he doesn´t understand
Her words were choked and broken
She left him with a token
The note he is holding in his hand
(Don´t let me down, don´t let me down)
Is this the end of the game
And will you put out the flame
And fly away
Don´t fly away
Now let´s find out who´s too blame
And start all over again
Don´t fly away
Don´t fly away
Way across the city
Waiting on a taxi
Holding cases
Standing in the hall
Thinking "well if only"
She´s feeling sad and lonely
Hoping ´gainst all hope that he will call
Don´t let me down
Don´t let me down
Is this the end of the game
And should I put out the flame
And fly away, and fly away
And if I walk out again
Is it true that the pain
Will fly away, fly away
Fly away
The taxi driver´s talking
But she doesn´t hear a single word he says
Fly away,
The tears fall so easily
Keep falling ´til she climbs aboard the plane
And it´s the end of the game
With only fortune to blame
[Solo]
Yes, it´s the end of the game
But love was given in vain
Sail away, sail away
Just like the sunshine and rain
It´s true that one day will pain will fly away
Fly away, fly away
