about

Co-written with Stephen Butler. A bit melancholy, but I am very proud of this song.

lyrics

Curtains down
Another end of summer
We really thought we had a comer
Now it's coolin' down, down, down
Where to now
Is there a page we haven't turned yet
What if there was some way to get
Another trip around, round, round

While we're waiting here
For the sun to join the moon
Like we remember
Everybody knows it's the end of the road
