Favourite Closing Song Lyrics

For my Brother....

...So take the train today, and don't look back again.
Live the dreams you have, don't dwell on what has been.
Your future's brighter now, there's brighter days ahead.
Any sad farewell words, better left unsaid.

Maybe before you were happy, but now your thoughts aren't of this place.
I only wish you were with me, someone like you can't be replaced.
 
This almost closed Marillion's Brave but they decided to add a track.

A bridge is not a high place
The fifty-second floor
Icarus would know
A mountain isn't far to fall

When you've fallen
When you've fallen from the moon

There's murder on the street
I'm ashes on the water now, somewhere far away
I have fallen, fallen from the moon
 
You really must be going now
By god, is that the time?
Let me put you out of my misery
They call it being cruel to be kind
I only insult my friends my friend
The rest can go to hell
You can read it anyway you want
Oh well, you're not so bad yourself

What can I do
About the rain that falls on you
I'm not your lover now
I'm not your lover now
 
No, I'm not afraid to disappear
The billboard said, the end is near
I turned around, there was nothing there
Yeah, I guess the end is here
The end is here
The end is here
The end is here
The end is here
 
Cold-hearted orb that rules the night
Removes the colours from our sight.
Red is grey and yellow white,
But we decide which is right
And which is an illusion.
 
And I won't listen to your shame
You ran away, you're all the same
Angels lie to keep control
Ooh, my love was punished long ago
If you still care don't ever let me know
If you still care don't ever let me know
 
This endless summer
Boogie boards and diggin' holes
Sandcastles and fishin' poles
What a way to save our souls
This endless summer
 
He says something like, "You and me, babe, how about it?"
"You and me, babe, how about it?"
 
I'm just a symptom of the moral decay
That's gnawing at the heart of the country.
 
Everybody wants a lover like that
Fire under the covers, crazy for each other
 
America where are you now?
Don't you care about your sons and daughters?
Don't you know we need you now
We can't fight alone against the monster
 
I've long since retired, my son's moved away
I called him up just the other day
I said, I'd like to see you if you don't mind
He said, I'd love to, dad, if I can find the time
You see, my new job's a hassle, and the kids have the flu
But it's sure nice talking to you, dad
It's been sure nice talking to you
And as I hung up the phone, it occurred to me
He'd grown up just like me
My boy was just like me
And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon
Little boy blue and the man in the moon
"When you coming home, son?" "I don't know when"
But we'll get together then, dad
We're gonna have a good time then
 
We are words on pages that
we've left unturned
An ending no one's ever heard
We are a story slowly unfolding
beautiful words
That last when everything else
has passed
Even when all the stars are gone
I know every single beautiful word
that we were will live on
