Think in terms of bridges burned 
Think of seasons that must end 
See the rivers rise and fall 
They will rise and fall again 
Everything must have an end 
Like an ocean to a shore 
Like a river to a stream 
Like a river to a stream 
It's the famous final scene 

And how you tried to make it work 
Did you really think it could 
How you tried to make it last 
Did you really think it would 
Like a guest who stayed too long 
Now it's finally time to leave 
Yes, it's finally time to leave 
Take it calmly and serene 
It's the famous final scene 

It's been coming on so long 
You were just the last to know 
It's been a long time since you've smiled 
Seems like oh so long ago 

Now the stage has all been set 
And the nights are growing cold 
Soon the winter will be here 
And there's no one warm to hold 

Now the lines have all been read 
And you knew them all by heart 
Now you move toward the door 
Here it comes the hardest part 
Try the handle of the road 
Feeling different, feeling strange 
This can never be arranged 
As the light fades from the screen 
From the famous final scene
