Icarus

    The End (this Time)

    2008

    This time, my love, we have come to an end
    No rivers to cross, no bridges to mend
    No daring escape, no final reprieve
    This time, my love, I must turn ‘round and leave

    We were good together most of the time
    When we found our rhythm and spoke our rhyme
    But too many doubts have clouded the sky
    And now it is time to say our goodbye

    This time, my love, there’s no ever after
    No sunshine kisses or moonlit laughter
    No battles to fight or forts to defend
    This time, my love, I must leave as a friend
