about

Epic indie note to self.
I wanted to write a night-club ending song - the one you hear as the lights come on.

lyrics

Last
To the centre
To polite applause
A smile struggles on
As the curtain falls
The light
Starts to fade
As the evening's done
Here
At the sunset
Of a broken son

Your beauty faded
Your beauty faded
In the twilight
In the twilight
Your beauty faded
Your beauty faded
But it's all right
But it's all right

This second verse is dedicated to the worst
Excesses of a life
I never even knew that I had
Intoxicated by the wheels in reverse
A tailspin tumble to the bottom of the ocean
I felt alive, felt alone for a spell
And no-one to decide or decode what's going well
When the edge of the cliff is your home
The rocks down below your stepping stones

Your beauty faded
Your beauty faded
In the twilight
In the twilight
Your beauty faded
Your beauty faded
But it's all right
Yeah it's all right

But it's all right
But it's all right
Is it all right?
Is it all right?
