The End Of An Era (Drums-Free Version)

Won't lie, was a hell of a time

But the time had come for me to bid it goodbye

Looks like we made it

Welcome to the dawn of a brand new age

Peace long-awaited

Glory to the magic of the tides of change

Looks like we made it

Welcome to the dawn of a brand new age

Peace long-awaited

Glory to the magic of the tides of change

Won't lie, was a hell of a time

But the time had come for me to bid it goodbye

Won't lie, was a hell of a time

But the time had come for me to bid it goodbye

They'll say I've changed

Truth is I'm not the same as yesterday

Cuz flowers grow in the rain

They'll ask what happened to the person they knew

Now I know

So say cheers, to the end of an era

Looked up and everything got clearer

Drinks up to the end of an era

We are who we are

But not quite who we'll be

Little twinkles come in fragments, all the possibilities

Look there! A new side, breaking through like sunrise

A guiding light that lifts you up to new heights

Above the clouds there's a whole new perspective

I used to doubt but now I know the truth is

Change, it can be the best of healers

So here's to the end of an era

Bittersweet reflections shine up at me as I fly on

I reach out to touch him, to love him, he says, "I'm gone"

On the riverbed, he's left, but through the memories he'll live on

If anyone tells you people don't change, best believe it's wrong

Funny how we die a thousand deaths but we live a million lives

We're all doin' the best we can, as we're hurtlin' through space and time

Endless paths at every turn, always tryin' to predict what the future holds

But I've come to accept the truth: it's not my place to know

Once I could only sink down deeper

Now I'm ready for the end of an era

Won't lie, was a hell of a time

But the time had come for me to bid it goodbye

Won't lie, was a hell of a time

But the time had come for me to bid it goodbye

Won't lie, was a hell of a time

But the time had come for me to bid it goodbye

Won't lie, was a hell of a time

But the time had come for me to bid it goodbye

Ah, ah-ah-ah, ah
