The Cure - Songs of a Lost World Album Lyrics

This is the end of every song that we sing
The fire burned out to ash and the stars grown dim with tears
Cold and afraid, the ghosts of all that we've been
We toast, with bitter dregs
To our emptiness

And the birds falling out of our skies
And the words falling out of our minds
And here is to love, to all the love
Falling out of our lives
Hopes and dreams are gone
The end of every song

And it all stops
We were always sure that we would never change
And it all stops
We were always sure that we would stay the same
But it all stops
And we close our eyes to sleep
To dream a boy and girl
Who dream the world is nothing but a dream

Where did it go?
Where did it go?
Broken-voiced lament to call us home
This is the end of every song we sing
Where did it go?
Where did it go?

Where did it go?
Where did it go?
Broken-voiced lament to call us home
This is the end of every song we sing
Alone

Promise you'll be with me in the end
Say we'll be together with no regret
For however far away
You will remember me tonight
Promise you'll be with me in the end
Say we'll be together and you won't forget
For however far away
You will remember me in time

And slide down close beside me
In the silence of a heartbeat
You'll wrap your arms around me
In a murmured lullaby
Is the memory of the first time
In the stillness of a teardrop
I'll hold you for the last time
In the dying of the life

And I know, I know
For my world has grown old
And nothing is forever
And I know, I know
My world has grown old
But it really doesn't matter
If you say we'll be together
If you promise you'll be with me in the end
Promise you'll be with me in the end

I know, I know
My world has grown old
And nothing is forever
And nothing is forever
And I know, I know
My world has grown old
But it really doesn't matter
If you say we'll be together
If you promise you'll be with me in the end
Promise you'll be with me in the end
(Promise me you'll be with me in the end)
(Promise me you'll be with me in the end)

Slide down close beside me
In the silence of a heartbeat

Every time you kiss me, I could cry she said
Don't tell me how you miss me
I could die tonight of a broken heart
This loneliness will change, and we feel too far apart
We know that we're too far apart
Every time that we're apart

It's too late now for me to just forget
I never thought I'd lead you to regret all I ever was
All this time alone has left me cold inside and lost
Yeah, every time you kiss me i could cry
Don't tell me how you miss me
I could die tomorrow of a broken heart
This loneliness will change, and we feel too far apart
Nothing you can say to change it back she said
Nothing you can do to but sing
This song is a fragile thing

Nothing you can do to turn it back she said
Nothing you can do to turn it back she said
Nothing you can do but sing
This song is a fragile thing
This song is my everything
But nothing you can do to change the end
There's nothing you can do...

Every time you leave me is a lie she said
You make believe you need me, but you try too hard
And I feel so wrong
You promised me forever, and say we all belong
But it's too late now for me to just forget
I never thought I'd lead you to regret all I ever was
But all this time alone has left me cold inside and lost
Yeah, every time you need me is a lie
You make believe you need me, but you try too hard I feel so wrong
You promised me forever, and say it won't be long

There's nothing I can do to change it back she said
Nothing you can do to but sing, this song is a fragile thing
Nothing you can do now but pretend again
Nothing you can do to change it back she said
Nothing you can do to but sing
This song is a fragile thing
This song is my everything
Nothing you can do to change the end
There's nothing you can do to change the end

Thunder rolling in to drown
November moon in cold black rain
The lightning who the sky apart
I'm whispering his name
He has to wake up
Love slipping away
Hear the bells beyond the sea
It's almost too late

Shadows growing closer now
There is nowhere left to hide
I can't wake this dream to sleep
However hard I try
Down on my knees
Aching inside
Something wicked this way comes
From out the cool November night
Something wicked this way comes
To steal away my brother's life
Somеthing wicked this way comes
I could nevеr say goodbye

Something wicked this way comes
From out the cruel and treacherous high
Something wicked this way comes
To steal away my brother's life
Something wicked this way comes

And I'm outside in the dark
Staring at the blood red moon
Remembering the hopes and dreams I had
All I had to do
And wondering what became of that boy
And the world he called his own
And I'm outside in the dark
Wondering how I got so old

It's all gone, it's all gone
Nothing left of all I loved
It all feels wrong
It's all gone, it's all gone, it's all gone
No hopes, no dreams, no world
No, I don't belong
AI don't belong here anymore

It's all gone, it's all gone
I will lose myself in time
It won't be long
It's all gone, it's all gone, it's all gone

Left alone with nothing at the end of every song
Left alone with nothing at the end of every song
Left alone with nothing
Nothing
Nothing
Nothing
