Lyrics

Not the End of the Story

Like a presence in the sky, like a tear that's just been cried
It's not the end of the story.
Like a cry out in the night, like a ship that's sailed from sight
It's not the end of the story
You don't have to be afraid when every footstep ever made
Is a trail that's newly laid.
Like a dream that's turned out wrong, like a ripple in a pond
It's not the end of the story
Every child that's ever wept, every memory you've kept,
It's not the end of the story.
Every promise that you make every rock on which you break
Is a chance you've got to take.
If you're the joker not the Ace, If you're the time but not the place
It's not the end of the story.
If you the beggar not the thief. If you've got plans but no belief
It's not the end of the story.
Don't imagine you're alone up on a pedestal or throne
Because a game that's played by one
is lost before the first moves done
It's the roses and the thorns, it's the diamonds and the pawns
It's not the end of the story.
There's a play that must be played, there's a hero to be saved.
It's not the end of the story.
And if you find you cannot trust then every thing will turn to dust
and it's only you who've lost
And if the game cannot be won then just play it for the fun
It's not the end of the story.
If there are no winners in the end, if there are no rules to bend
It's not the end of the story.
and it still goes on. It still goes on
It never ends
