Nothing at the End
Joe Chester
The horizon is expanding,
The phantom race is run,
The light was only waiting,
For darkness to descend.
The blood becomes a traitor,
The heart becomes a stranger
The thing you laid your life down for,
Becomes impossible to defend.
Love forgives everything at the beginning,
And forgives nothing at the end.
With your moneychanger's hands,
And your alabaster jar,
And your coal bunker heart,
Once broken, impossible to mend.
You're truthful but not honest,
You're cut but you're not wounded,
You're vicious but not bitter,
You respect me too much to pretend.
Love forgives everything at the beginning,
And forgives nothing at the end.
Love forgives everything at the beginning,
And forgives nothing at the end.
