it's just before the end
they've turned the music down
take a while to think
before you drown

it's just before the end
the sun's set out of sight
have another drink
to ease the fright

and even though it's over
there's no time to cry
there isn't even time
to wonder why
or say goodbye

it's just before the end
the birds have left the sky
the day has gone forever
don't reach so high

and even though it's over
don't try to change a thing
the juke box is broken
and saints cannot sing
they cannot sing
can't even sing

it's just before the end
there's nothing left to do
that dream about last summer
it wasn't true
