| It’s only the end of an endless time
|
| I wake up in my own bed, the curtains open wide
|
| To let in what light the sky has to offer today
|
| It’s only the end of an endless time
|
| They don’t put that in the paper, you won’t hear it on the news
|
| But we knew
|
| It’s just like a sunset about to begin
|
| Maybe at first, you can’t believe your eyes
|
| The sky all lit with colour and light
|
| It’s just the same, as right before you left
|
| We would stay up late, your head on my chest
|
| We were so in love, and the sun went on making flowers from the mud
|
| We could walk out on the street and buy roses from Spain
|
| Lemons and persimmons in December rain
|
| All of our lives it had been that way
|
| But it’s only the end of an endless time
|
| They don’t put that in the paper you won’t read it in the news
|
| You have to use your eyes
|
| And it’s so painful how everybody lies
|
| Nobody tells it straight
|
| They try so hard not to meet your gaze
|
| We can still walk out on the street and buy champagne grapes
|
| Strawberries and lilies in November rain
|
| It never occurred to us to have to pay
|
| But it’s only the end of an endless time
|
| We laughed so much we wore lines around our eyes
|
| You can see it in that picture of us from long ago how we changed
|
| And it happened so slowly, we couldn’t even say
|
| I gotta find that picture, I want to look again
|
| I used to think that I could see everything that met my eyes |
