It Ends

from The Cold War by Michael Mazochi

/

lyrics

Well I’ve been through this living, like I’m born here to die.
I see no sense of sympathy in any man’s eyes.
But, I don’t need your ribbons to know where I’ve been.
You see Ive run from the country, and I’ve been running since.

But I know that someday it ends.

So hold me up, when I’m going down
Darling, hold me up, to live by the sound
Darling, hold me up, when I’m going down
Darling, hold me up, to live by the sound.

So I drank of your liquor and I lived on your bread.
And I walked the high road but chose the other instead.
And I shouted through the canyons and I swam in the lakes.
While I chalked my misgivings up to a young mans mistakes.

Cos I know that someday it ends

So hold me up, when I’m going down
Darling, hold me up, to live by the sound
Darling, hold me up, when I’m going down
Darling, hold me up, to live by the sound.

There’s a light on in the bowery, ‘neath a legion of shelds
But it’s a soldier’s remorse for a refusal to yield
See, we hold up our dead to impossible deeds
Like it’s some sort of penance for being born a bad seed.

But I know that someday it ends
Yes I know that someday it ends.

So hold me up, when I’m going down
Darling, hold me up, to live by the sound
Darling, hold me up, when I’m going down
Darling, hold me up, to live by the sound.

And if I die in the city, don’t bury me here.
Return me to the willows where the river runs clear.
And if I meet my maker, well I’ll tell her that I tried.
See I’ve run from the country, but I’m not one to hide.

Cos, I know that someday it ends
Yes, I know that someday it ends.
