lyrics

Dear god I said I'm sorry
but you know you really hurt me
I was only trying to hold you
to give warmth not to control you
No I didn't mean to scare you
I was only trying to tell you
that we're near the final chapter
of our days of love and laughter

It's the end
goodbye my fair weather friend
It's the end.
In the sunlight you are with me
through the starlight to tomorrow
when the rain comes I can't find you
I'm beneath the clouds forgotten.

And the world is getting older
and our eyes are growing weary
and our final words are spoken
and the hourglass is empty
No more angle songs to call you
no more poems to exalt you
I don't want to be remembered
burn my poetry and letters

It's the end,
goodbye my fair weather friend
It's the end.
And at last the world seduced you
yes it stole you from my slumber
Now you're going with those people
who just want to pull you under
It's the end
goodbye my fair weather friend
It's the end
I've been walking down the back streets
I've been crying in the shadows
I've been hiding in my diary
but this is my final chapter

Dear god I said I'm sorry
but you know you really hurt me
I was only trying to hold you
to give warmth not to control you... it's the end
