The Beautiful Things That End Lyrics

There was a day

That I wished would never end

I made myself a friend

I fell into a place that I had never seen

But it was waiting for me

And there we were

With our backs to the sunset

Looking out from the hill

Embracing the chill

Of the breath of the wind

And the silent air

That played with her hair

When we were out there

The smoothest stream

That I've ever seen

Cutting through some tall grass

That had lost its green

And mountains and airplanes

Awaiting the stars

That quietly danced

Once the world got dark

And I felt my heart start

Well we headed back

It felt like I was home

On a comfortable road

And I couldn't see beyond the headlights but I knew

That there was beauty beyond

And there we were

With our backs to her house

In a pocket of light

Surrounded by night

That had fallen around

All the chatter and sound

Of the people out back

Who faded to black

A conversation we had for a while

But I can't remember, I was lost in her smile

A laugh, a drink, a little spark

I watched my world falling apart

And I felt my heart start

And then there I was

Alone in my room

Thinking of someone

Who I wish I knew

Better than moonlit walks in the park

But she'd seen the storm I hadn't been through

And I heard the song that love sang as it flew

To my head, from my heart

And then there we were

With our backs to the dark

On a walk down a road

In the city of stars

Where each flickering light

Found its place in the night

And all the things that were gone

Were turned into a song

A song of love, and fading friends

A song about the beautiful things that end

A song that tries to hold it all

A special hill

A welcome chill

A setting sun

A heart begun

A dancing star that fell too far

A pocket of light that found its place in the night

And faded back into dark
