The Party's Over

the bar is empty

an empty beer stands alone

on a vacant table

left by someone who's gone

the night is over

the morning has come

my eyes are weary

it's time to move on

i'm stone cold sober

as i look at the scene

like a thousand barrooms

that i've seen in my dreams

the party noises

have faded and gone

the party's over

it's time to move on

(bridge)

and where do we go

now that we're fading away

the ghost of you and me

in a memory of yesterday

i turn around now

and see the faces we've been

friends and lovers

we thought till the end

but the light brings changes

the morning bares scars

from the people we were

to the people we are

Remembering the Fall

remember when you never got the call?

remember all the helplessness?

remembering the fall

someday,

you'll understand it all

you're searching now the way you used to do

running in the darkness

for a feeling that you knew

someday,

you'll see one come through

(chorus)

you can be what you want to be

you can see what you want to see

and if sometime your aim is true

the good you plant will grow back up to you

an old friend looks and sees you walk away

he thinks that he knows you

but he don't know a thing

you know,

just how far you came

after all you take another look

pieces of your life

are like the pages of a book

someday,

they'll read you again

(back to chorus)
