Crescendo Lyrics

The flowers by your bed

Are faded brown but once were red

And your hair like petals fell

But at the time no one could tell

I thought the end belonged to me

I chose my words so carefully

When it came time to let them out

I didn't whisper, didn't shout

But words can't reveal

A moment so real

Just an eye through the curtain

And I'm finally certain it's true

The end belongs to you

Despite your fight it's through

And like a whistled melody

You'll keep coming back to me

But at the end of your song

I could not sing along

Turned my face to the window

Meanwhile your crescendo behind

First over the line

What belongs to us

The body or the dust

It's the ashes and the flame

Keep me looking back again

And what's left to sing

Is a curious thing

I'm denying the end

Though your silent crescendo is true

The end belongs to you
