when the last curtain falls

Singer:jones, george

even though i still sting from the words that you threw at me

there's no pleasure at all from watching you fall to your knees

'cause the tables have turned and i'm finally learning to live

and forgive and let go

as no sweet revenge

as loves angry end and we all need to know

when the last curtain falls with a final goodbye

and the bitter cold darkness of night flash the days of our life

with the silence so loud we can feel it all

there's no reason or cause to cheer or applaud when the last curtain falls

the irony is that you're wearing the look i once wore

and in truth i've longed for this moment to settle the score

but it's not all that clear

now that i'm hearin' you echo

the thoughts of my soul

the justice of time

it's not really mine and i want you to know

when the last curtain falls with a final goodbye

and the bitter cold darkness of night flash the days of our life

with the silence so loud we can't feel at all

there's no reason or cause to cheer or applaud when the last curtain falls

there's no reason or cause to cheer or applaud when the last curtain falls
