  • This is the end of every song that we sing
    The fire burned out to ash and the stars grown dim with tears
    Cold and afraid, the ghosts of all that we've been
    We toast with bitter dregs, to our emptiness

    And the birds falling out of our skies
    And the words falling out of our minds
    And here is to love, to all the love
    Falling out of our lives
    Hopes and dreams are gone
    The end of every song

    And it all stops
    We were always sure that we would never change
    And it all stops
    We were always sure that we would stay the same
    But it all stops
    And we close our eyes to sleep
    To dream a boy and girl
    Who dream the world is nothing but a dream

    Where did it go?
    Where did it go?
    Broken voiced lament to call us home
    This is the end of every song we sing
    Where did it go?
    Where did it go?

    Where did it go?
    Where did it go?
    Broken voiced lament to call us home
    This is the end of every song we sing alone Writer/s: Robert Smith
