Where the Story Ends

Trying not to lose my head

But I have never been this scared before

Tell you what I'll do instead

Lay my body down on the floor

To forget what I've done

Silhouette 'til the good Lord come

All we know is distance

We're close and then we run

Kiss away the difference

I know you hate this one

Trying not to lose your own

Boxing up everything you've got

All you ever knew of home

You're scared, scared to see

Your mother there in the door

You wonder where did the years go, and

All we know is distance

We're close and then we run

Kiss away the difference

I know you hate this one

But this is how the story ends

Or have we just begun?

To kiss away the difference

I know you hate this one

The violins make no sounds

And I begin to feel the ground

And all we know is distance

We're close and then we run

Kiss away the difference

I know you hate this one

But this is where the story ends

Or have we just begun?

To kiss away the difference

I know you hate this one

Listens 'til he's twenty

Lasts 'til twenty-one

Rushing past the window

Like he's watching his own son

Sixty years of sorrow

Brought five or six of bliss

Left my mother's mother

Without so much as a kiss
