Lyrics

At the end of the road
(In loving memory of my defunct friend Hugues Caillaux)

Give me time to heal
And the love to see this through
Before you cross to the other side
When I?ve lost the sight of you

Torn and empty sun
Fade like youth into the moon
When I wake with the thoughts I shun
Those that push me to meet you soon

Comfortably amused
By the fire we would seduce
When you crash at the end of the road
And your welcome is already known

Give me time to bleed
The tears of my surprise
Before you plant the lethal seed
Into the womb I will excise

Turn me upside down
Lift me all you can
From there from where from here
Beneath the master plan

Just one last embrace
Just one last embrace
Before you crash at the end of the road
And your welcome is already known
