lyrics

Shall we start at the end and work backwards from there
It’s more easy than finding our way through the fog
That obscures all the good things and hides them from sight
Turns true love to dust, and turns day into night.

It was easy before when unhappiness reigned
To embrace the familiar, the hurt and the pain
It was easy to love them and treat them as friends
Not so easy for those who begin at the end

So tell me our future, oh what will it be
Can we throw off the demons that darken our days
Free ourselves from the patterns that turn us away
From the hope that can surely turn night into day

Starting a story is easy to do
But finding the ending, well that’s up to you.
