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
