lyrics

What else was there to do here in this tired old mill town,
With all the work dried up, the factory shut down?
So we huddle up in alley ways -- and pass the bottle round

I tied one on so hard that night so I might not be found,
But the sirens woke me when the cops were circling round.
We thought the house was vacant -- so we burned it to the ground.

And I know that there’s a reason for the company I keep;
One that might explain just why my trouble runs so deep.
The judge said if I’m real, real good I’ll make it out just fine,
But I know I’m meant to rot here for my crimes
Until the end of time.

I swear I loved you ever since the day that first we met
Your eyes, your walk, your smile, haven’t seen no rival yet.
Now I lie alone in bed and wonder -- when will I forget?

I do not care to sleep or eat, and I’m falling into debt
Whiskey shrouds my desperation; gambling quells regret,
But the more I think of you and him -- the angrier I get.

And I know that there’s a reason why I’m penniless here still;
Would, could, should move on, but I guess I never will
‘Cause there’s still this voice a-teasin’ at the corner of my mind
From when you made a promise to be mine
Until the end of time.

I see it clearly every time I close my eyes
I see another restless night that runs into sunrise
Another knock-down, dragout fight -- where no one gets the prize.

Now you live alone with just a closet full of ties
And your ghost lingers here like the whisper of a lie
I look into the mirror -- where it’s me that I despise.

And I know that there’s a reason after all is said and done,
But damned if I can see it through the battles lost and won.
This war is out of season, out of taste and out of line
Yet here we stand so boldly misaligned
Until the end of time.
Until the end of time.
Until the end of time.
