By The End Of The Night Songtext
von Old 97’s

I went straight to the sea
The blind old fool that I am
Her face was stricken in me
Looking right where I am

She said what a beautiful life
Staring at the stars all night
′Til she is a part of them

That's more than I could fight
She wouldn′t matter to me
There by the end of the night

It's taken many alive
The meanest of the iron roads
Took her off in the night


But a headlight eye is bright
The metal'll be the last I see
There by the end of the night

I went straight to the sea
The blind old fool that I am
Her face was stricken in me
Looking right where I am

She said what a beautiful life
Staring at the stars all night
′Til she is a part of them

That′s more than I could fight
She wouldn't matter to me
There by the end of the night
She wouldn′t matter to me
There by the end of the night
