The Beginning of the End

There's not a closing bell There's just an awkward glance The lightning's a fairy tale It's really a quiet dance And we cut the tethered Earth And float in the empty sky And dance 'til the daylight hurts There's nothing left but goodbye This is the coming of a new kind of love That breaks your heart for good It's the beginning of the end of your life But you would never know You are the answer to a question I asked In another life If it's the coming of a new kind of love Why am I terrified? Without you I'm just a man No longer an ancient god A statue that's turned to sand A stick not a lightning rod Still you just ache in me A fever that will not leave The sap of a dying tree The blade that I can't retrieve This is the coming of a new kind of love That breaks your heart for good It's the beginning of the end of your life But you would never know You are the answer to a question I asked In another life If it's the coming of a new kind of love Why am I terrified? This is the coming of a new kind of love That breaks your heart for good If it's the coming of a new kind of love Why am I terrified?
