Well
who would have
thought it would
end like this?

with one sunset
fading out of sight
(I'm close behind)
the glitter
of a city
in the distant night,

and in a second it is over
and the rains begin again
and winter is your lover
and summer's just a friend

and flower shops are closing
and the candles burnt
to wax
a step into your long,
lost home
and you just want to turn back

and no one is waiting
how you thought they'd
wait
and you left someone behind
decisions are the demons
pedaling my mind

Well,
who would have
thought it would
end like this?

with just what I wanted
in hand
and the painful sense
of regret
when you give away
what you had.
