Winning Lyrics

Closing Time

They say that when you're all that's left
It's a sign you've stayed too long
And all the signs suggest to me
The ending has begun
More wine!
Raise a glass to what lies ahead
More wine!
And we'll drink until we're ...

The sun is setting in distant skies
Soon it will be time

Though the drinks have flowed like rivers
Now the ice is melting away
Can't comprehend the flow of time
Within the drunken haze
We all fought to make it last forever
And it's only now that I'm no longer so blind
And I think it's nearly closing time
Yeah, I think it's nearly closing time
Turn out the lights
Say goodnight, and goodbye

Long has been this perfect day
Since that first good-morning kiss
We spent most of it together
And I thought we'd found our bliss
More time!
I silently beg though I know it can't be
No more time!
It won't be too long until we're all ...

The owner's fading down the lights
Soon it will be time

Though the drinks have flowed like rivers
Now the ice is melting away
Can't comprehend the flow of time
Within the drunken haze
We all fought to make it last forever
And it's only now that I'm no longer so blind
And I think it's nearly closing time
Yeah, I think it's nearly closing time
Turn out the lights
Say goodnight, and goodbye

And is it any wonder
On this day I spent with you
That I almost started to believe
What I knew couldn't be true?

Now it all seems so naive
Can that really have been me
Who thought it might last
For eternity?

Only one thing lasts forever
And it means nothing to me...

Though the drinks have flowed like rivers
Now the ice is melting away
Can't comprehend the flow of time
Within the drunken haze
We all fought to make it last forever
And it's only now that I'm no longer so blind
And I think it's nearly closing time
Yeah, I think it's nearly closing time
Turn out the lights ...

And I think it must be closing time
On all we've ever known
After we've left here tonight
We won't be going home
The horsemen fly across the sky
Come, turn out the lights
Goodnight
And goodbye

well thats the biggest load of **** ive ever seen
