Well now the party's over
Food and dishes all put away
Family and guests are all off in their beds
Looks like the end of the day.
Just you and I together,
And I don't know what to say.
It feels so strange, the same old game
Without a reason to play.
Without a reason to play.
I never shared the vision,
In fact I've never known.
From dawn to dusk relations rust,
You stood it all alone.
And there in all confusion,
So big, so fearless, so bold,
I tried so hard I almost died,
But now I guess you know,
But now I guess you know.
They're boarding up the windows,
The closets seem so small.
The picture frames of mem'ry lane
Come cascading off the wall.
And now the questions and the answers
Ring so hollow in my mind,
The reasons change, the agenda fades
Up against the wailing wall,
Up against the wailing wall.
Melting all my anger
As I turn life a page
To make some sense, to feel repent,
What to save and cast away.
Now in the final chapter
Of the greatest story told
I see so clear through clouded tears
I don't want to see you go,
I don't want to see you go.
Well now the party's over,
Food and dishes all put away.
Family and guests are all off in their beds,
Looks like the end of the day.
Just you and I together,
And I don't know what to say.
It feels so strange, the same old game,
Without a reason to play,
Without a reason to play.
