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
