Nonesuch Records - The End lyrics

[Verse 1] That'll be the end of the road When my battered, embittered Body and soul will go home [Verse 2] That'll be the end of the war When we finally lay down The barrel and the blade and go home [Verse 3] By the sea, so wide and treacherous By the land, so dark and dangerous How can we have so far to go? [Verse 4] That'll be the end of the law Of Bible, Koran, Torah, lost and gone [Verse 5] And the sea, so wide and treacherous And the land, so dark and dangerous How can we have so far to go? [Verse 6] That'll be the end of arms stretched wide Of begging for bread, of emptiness inside [Verse 7] And the sea, so wide and treacherous And the land, so dark and dangerous So far left behind [Verse 2, repeated] That'll be the end of the war When we finally lay down The barrel and the blade and go home
