Ending of a Song - Orleans

When I look into the mirror of her eyes

I see all my visions fading

Into lines of broken dreams

A map of traveled roads with dead-end signs

A folded pair of jeans with worn-out seams

When I stare into the sorrow in her eyes

I find all the doors unaltered

By the scars of many years

Of pounding as I tried to get inside

But now the lock’s grown rusty with her tears

Sometimes I feel her eyes are closing to my smile

This music man’s been gone for far too long

I just can’t hold her love across the miles

But it’s hard to face the ending of a song

When I gaze into the future of her eyes

I see that I must turn away

And struggle to be strong

For she and I may have to say goodbye

And it’s sad to face the thought

That maybe we were wrong

Sometimes I feel her eyes are closing to my smile

This music man’s been gone for far too long

I just can’t hold her love across the miles

But it’s hard to face the ending of a song

Sometimes I feel her eyes are closing to my smile

This music man’s been gone for far too long

I just can’t hold her love across the miles

But it’s hard to face the ending of a song
