Where the Story Ends

Trying not to lose my head But I have never been this scared before Tell you what I'll do instead Lay my body down on the floor To forget what I've done Silhouette 'til the good Lord come All we know is distance We're close and then we run Kiss away the difference I know you hate this one Trying not to lose your own Boxing up everything you've got All you ever knew of home You're scared, scared to see Your mother there in the door You wonder where did the years go, and All we know is distance We're close and then we run Kiss away the difference I know you hate this one But this is how the story ends Or have we just begun? To kiss away the difference I know you hate this one The violins make no sounds And I begin to feel the ground And all we know is distance We're close and then we run Kiss away the difference I know you hate this one But this is where the story ends Or have we just begun? To kiss away the difference I know you hate this one Listens 'til he's twenty Lasts 'til twenty-one Rushing past the window Like he's watching his own son Sixty years of sorrow Brought five or six of bliss Left my mother's mother Without so much as a kiss
