Give me just a little more time

I know I only need one more try

But now and then I feel I’m wasting my time

And now I’ve reached the end of the line

 

CHORUS 1:

It’s the end of the line for me and you

There’s nothing more that we can do

No more places we can go

Cos darling it’s the end of the line

 

It’s not like me to be this way

But God knows how I’ve given my best

What more is there I can say

Except this is the end of the line?

 

CHORUS 2:

It’s the end of the line – believe it’s true

All of my luck has run out too

It’s time to look for something new

Because this is the end of the line

 

On the other hand it isn’t fair to make out it’s all been bad

There were times I thought that it would work and that makes it even more sad

 

I’ve given all that I had to give

It seems it just was never enough

For all I’ve done, I’ve nothing to show

For now we’ve reached the end of the line

 

So now it’s time to face all the facts

The song is done it’s time to give in

And though they say the show must go on

It’s pointless at the end of the line

 

(CHORUS 1)

 

Opportunity it never knocked and so I never got a break

I’ve got to stop it now if only for my sanity’s sake

 

It’s the end of the line; we did our best

We always thought we’d beat the rest

Goes to show that life’s just a test

And one day you’ll reach the end of the line

 

(CHORUS 2)
