| once the catch has been caught and the money been counted
|
| once the shot had been fired and the killing been done
|
| when the fields are empty and the birds have flown
|
| when your man is asleep lying at your side
|
| once the train’s pulled out and the curtain’s been closed
|
| once the holiday’s over and the children have grown
|
| once the bride’s been kissed and the decorations down
|
| when your girl is asleep lying at your side
|
| what do we have but ourselves?
|
| who are you at the end of your day?
|
| what do we need but ourselves?
|
| who are we at the end of our days?
|
| once the question’s been asked and the tears have dried away
|
| once the doors have locked and the clouds have passed across
|
| once the rain has cleared and the rubbish been taken out
|
| when your child is asleep lying at your side
|
| what do we have but ourselves?
|
| who are you at the end of your day?
|
| what do we need but ourselves?
|
| who are we at the end of our days? |
