All Your Love
the cat and owl Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

All the last chances, in the universe
Could not save you from that curse
And all of the true words
From the few who cared
Could not make you
See your own worth

And they say, what a shame What a waste
She didn't even make it
To see twenty-eight
The spirit of the
Fallen queen of soul
Sadly slips away

All your people
Are here to applaud you
Worship you, adore you
And keep your flame alive
Though your body is gone
Your voice is true and strong
Your heart will always carry on
Cos you gave us your soul
In every song

All the sad stories
Of the fallen stars
Could not stop you
In your tracks
And every turning
On you twisted path
Seemed to lead you
Back to black

Step away from that great
Lonely stage
Was it too much too soon
Or the pressure of fame
No use in pointing the
Finger of blame
It's all too little too late
Since you sealed your own fate

All your people
Are here to applaud you
Worship you, adore you
And keep your flame alive
Though your body is gone
Your voice is true and strong
Your heart will always carry on
How did something
So beautiful go wrong

Wasted and wasting
In front of our eyes
A sick jaded heart
And a misguided mind
Sensitive soul in the
Wrong kind of life
Or could it be you just needed time
To learn to love the person inside

Take a bow
Now get out of the game
You just wanted something
To make you feel brave
Well now you feel nothing
And all that remains
Are the records
That you suffered to make
The music that refuses to fade

All your people
Are here to applaud you
Worship you, adore you
And keep your flame alive
Though your body is gone
Your voice is true and strong
Your heart will always carry on
Cos you gave us your soul
In every song

And they say
What a shame, what a waste




You hung your guitar up
And called it a day
