Once, I heard the whistle  Of a mournful midnight train  Sing a little duet  With a siren in the rain  They 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 then  Instant liberation  It was not long  But I was set free  It was release  For 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 then (right then)  A little liberation  It was so quick  But I was set free  It was release  For a moment, love let go of me    It was right then (right then)  A little liberation  It was not long (not long)  But I was set free  It was release (release)  For a moment, love let go of me    (For a moment)  For a moment, love let go of me
