End of Me

The violin is sad
and filled with longing
and I am filled with longing too
The cello is murmuring
soft and low
and I am murmuring too
It’s the end of me
Yeah
and that’s alright with me
The conductor is pleading
for passion in the song
and I am pleading too
The actor screams it’s over now
escapes into the night
and I’m escaping too
It’s the end of me
Yeah
and that’s alright with me
The third act reveals the fool and his pride
curled up in the mud like he’s back in the womb again
Thunderstorm shakes and then he cries
as the grimace on his soul then becomes a grin
The symphony is reaching the crescendo of release
and I am reaching it too
Yeah
It’s the end of me
and that’s all right with me
Yeah
It’s the end of me
and that’s alright with me
