Dead End

 

 

 

 

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
