End of My Rope

End of my rope,
I've come to the end of my foolish hope
up around the bend
and go down the steepest slope
and then you're on your own
just baby steps on my way home

End of my days,
I'll come to the end of my foolish ways
fate, my best friend
can you see the sun's bright rays
lighting up my future bones
steady my steps on my way home

At the end of this particular romantic tale
and this path through dark woods I know so well
well maybe I will unveil
the right time and place where I can set sail
on the peaceful wings that
blow my hair back
solve my life's mystery
be all I promise to be, yeah...

End of my life,
I've come to the end of the darkest night
sad willow tree that bends
my halo of perfect light
but then I'm on my own
my life was just the journey back home

On my way home
baby steps until all is known
on my way home
got so far to go
so far...so far...
to go

"I will hang on the hook of your splendor" -Snow Patrol, 'Dark Roman Wine'

I really love this!! We may take baby steps, but as long as we're still putting one foot in front of the other, there's still hope - even when it's hiding from us. *S*

I like the positive attitude here, even with the trouble and strife.

I was born when she kissed me,
I lived a few weeks when she loved me,
I died when she left me.
