Darkness falls like 
A black leather jacket 
And melts into the sidewalk 
Like a sleeping drunk 
In the streets, the wind 
Throws yesterday's headlines around 
Another night comes and goes 
So for awhile back then 
There was someplace to go 
Somewhere more home than a house 
A family of choice not an accident 
But sometimes as soon as something 
Gets started it's over 
Now the days are much shorter 
And the people from the good part of town 
All come around, but the something is missing 
Even though there's more there now 
I shrug off my attempts to explain 
How a torn T-shirt made it all danger again 
I don't like flashbacks in movies 
I like the story to proceed 
I don't like talking about the old days 
Except if it tells where the future will lead 
So we take a walk down this haunted hall 
Or stumble through a shattered recall 
I know there's nothing to relive 
It's just he shape of it all 
I don't want it different 
I don't want it again 
But value for value 
I'd never want it to end 
You thin of the old friends 
And faced no more to be seen 
You think how much fun 
A line-up would mean 
And once that tape starts playing 
It's too hard to make it rewind 
That one special face takes over your mind 
That end of the run 
We almost won 
The end of the run 
We had our fun 
The end of the run 
The end of the run 
I knew it then 
It won't be back again 
We stood in the cold night 
Though we should be warm in the back of the lot 
With me in your arms 
The sun was falling 
The grey rain was poring 
The cars were all dirty and slow 
We both had our kiss 
And out of the depths and darkness 
With my eyes closed 
I still see you fine 
That was the season 
We make our dreams come true 
There was no limit to what we could do 
The end of the run 
We almost won 
The end of the run 
We had our fun 
The end of the run 
I knew it then 
He won't be back again 
Once that tape starts playing 
It's too hard to make it rewind 
With my eyes closed I still see you fine 
That was the season 
We make our dreams come true 
There was no limit tot what we could do 
The end of the run 
We almost won 
The end of the run 
We had our fun 
The end of the run 
I knew it then 
He won't be back again
