It's only the end of an endless time
I wake up in my own bed
The curtains open wide
To let in what light
The sky has to offer today
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
Maybe at first
You can't believe your eyes
The sky all lit with colour and light
It's just the same
As right before you left
We would stay up late
Your head on my chest
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
But it's only the end of an endless time
They don't put that in the paper
You won't read it in 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
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
