about

Another dark character piece in waltz time.

lyrics

All alone at the end of May
We feel this pain in our souls
Love and loss a tired refrain
We’ll all pay the ferryman’s toll

Life’s bitter heartache
We live with regret
Shame overtakes us all

Not to belabor the point
I’ll tell you all goodbye

The waltz of existence
Is always on our minds
For every step ahead
We’re two behind

Dreams turn to nightmares
We all have to face
With grace comes
the double bind

Our need to be wanted
The bane of it all
The Addiction and the lies
I know I’ve done my time
So I’ll just say goodbye

Fear and disappointment
The Darkness closes in
Oh, to be free
Of these chains

Staring into
This infinite abyss
Hoping that the wheel
Don’t spin again

I may have wandered
And I may be lost
Absolution was never
Mine to find
We all live in Exile
I got left behind
I’ll just say goodbye
