Dead End
Did you know I made up words
To portray your face to god
The precious sounds I made for her
Will ring as somewhat odd
The headache you prepared for me
And the trembling of my hand
You forgot my aim for decency
When you let love take command
Chorus
I left you for another that I’ll never meet again
You will find your comfort in the arms of other men
Sail on, lover, sail and we may meet around the bend
Lift your veil and raise your glass
‘Cause love’s a dead end
I need to forget the roads I went
To want to want again
The coins I earned but I never spent
Were all stolen through the end
I choked on tasks that I could not make
And honey, I never loved you well
The last embrace that I couldn’t take
Was the one you tried to sell
