An Ending

Under the bare bulb of dawn, I was forlorn Waiting for an ending to come And your demeanour said it wouldn't be long You herald the old ghosts that I saw Circling round your kitchen, marching up to deaths front door To tell me, there could have been more Now even the shallowest of wounds are weeping My fragile family tree can't take another beating, oh boy Don't tell me that there could have been more But here I am, holding your candle, with everyone you've ever loved And no one's going to blow it out Straight down the path on to dismay Walking oh so slowly, holding your hand all the way Tears you thought you'd never replace And all of the reasons that we make Scarcely give me solace, just let me see the mark death made Everything in its right place But here I am, holding your candle, with everyone you've ever loved And no one's going to blow it out
