lyrics

The end is coming
And there ain’t no use in running.

We fell in love too young
I thought you were the only one
To share a sacred bond
Birds chirping a sacred song.

Evenings, we’re reading,
“Truth’s in your heart
Not in your head,”
Gold rings for lifetime.

But I had this thought again:
A new person to share a dirty bed.

So I remembered being touched
By the hand of Christ,
When happiness rained down on me.

Is a thought just a thought,
A dream, a dream
Not acted upon
Really nothing?

The end is coming
And there ain’t no use in running.
