The End Of The Game Lyrics - Leo Sayer

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
