In The End

The only time
That I fell in love
Is when you went away
And I don’t know
If I’d feel the same
If you were here to stay
If you were here to stay

And I’m trying hard not to fool around
Make security my friend
But in the end
Oh in the end

Some sad mornings
I wake up
And run my fingers through your hair
Then stupefied
I rub my eyes
And see that you’re not there
And see that you’re not there

And I’m trying to put these dreams into
Perspectives that make sense
But in the end
Oh in the end

While I’m waiting at the gate
Of your plane arriving late
Do these flowers in my hand command my fate
As they wilt and fade away

As I wait and sip
My last straight gin
I write the lines of a fool
It’s just that you left
When I was feeling good
And believing you
And believing you

And I’m trying to remember words
You said way back when
But in the end
Oh in the end
