Endless Time

[Verse 1]

It's only the end of an endless time

I wake up in my own bed

The curtain open wide

To let in what light

The sky has to offer today

[Verse 2]

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

And it's just like a sunset about to begin

[Verse 3]

Maybe at first you can't believe your eyes

The sky all lit in colour and light

It's just the same as right before you left

We would stay up late

Your head on my chest

[Verse 4]

We were still 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

[Verse 5]

But it's only the end of an endless time

They don't put that in the paper

You won't read it on 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

[Verse 6]

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
