patty loveless
when the last curtain falls
Even though it still hurts from the words that you threw at me There's no pleasure at all from watching you fall to your knees 'Cause the tables have turned and I'm finally learnin' To live, forgive and let go There's no sweet revenge At love's angry end And we all need to know  When the last curtain falls with a final goodbye And the bitter cold darkness of night Floods the days of our lives With a silence so loud we can't feel at all There's no reason or cause To cheer or applaud When the last curtain falls  Well, the irony is that you're wearing the look I once wore And in truth I've longed for this moment to settle the score But it's not all that clear, now hearing You echo the thoughts of my soul The justice of time Is really not mine And I want you to know  When the last curtain falls with a final goodbye And the bitter cold darkness of night Floods the days of our lives With a silence so loud we can't feel at all There's no reason or cause To cheer or applaud When the last curtain falls There's no reason or cause To cheer or applaud When the last curtain falls
