End of the Run Songtext

von Deborah Harry

Darkness falls like a 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
Get's started it's over
Now the days are much shorter
And the people from the good part of town
All come around, but 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 awalk down this haunted hall
Or stumple through a shattered recall
I know there's nothing to relieve
It's just the shape of it all
I don't want it different
Don't want it again
But value for value
Now I'd never want it to end
You think of the old friends
And faces no more to be seen
You think how much fun a line-up word mean
Anjonce that tape starts playing
It's too hard to make it rewind
That one special face takes over your mind

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 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 fallin'
The grey rain was pourin'
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 ya fine
That was the season
We made 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 ya fine
That was the season
We made our dreams come true
There was no limit to what we could do

The end of the run
We had our fun
The end of the run
I knew it then it won't be back again
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.
