Forever

At the end of the day I just want to feel a warm hand
On my back leading me to the height of nightfall
At the end of the day I just want to hear a whisper
Over the shivers from the scratching of a love song
At the end of the day I just want to watch the sky fire
Burn to ashes like a prophecy for us all
At the end of the day I just want to lay my head down
Never again to wonder if there will be a dawn
At the end of the day I don’t think I’ll mind
No, I don’t think I’ll mind the end of the world
Swollen fingers sway over the sidewalk
Heavy shadows almost cover the whole block
The silence of mourning, the talking all night —
Forever for lovers
Forgiving the time, forgetting the time, forgiving the time
Forgetting the time, forgiving the time…
