At the Start and at the End (Song of the Caretaker)
I don't know what to say
I confess... I'm at a loss for words
I know you fear the worst
So, if you want, I'll stay right here until the hurt fades away into the night
It's gonna be alright
It's gonna be alright
At the start we all begin on level ground
At the start where life is formed and hope is found
In the dark, we're all afraid
We're just the same
But that's no help when you are gone and I remain
I don't know, I don't know why it was you and not I
And I hope you know I wish it wasn't so
So in-between each breath you take
There's a fear I can't erase
Oh but if I could... you know I would
So, I'll do what I can
It's not much but then you never really asked for that
You never really asked
So, if you want, I'll stay right here until the hurt fades away into the night
It's gonna be alright
It's gonna be alright
I confess... I'm at a loss for words
I know you fear the worst
So, if you want, I'll stay right here until the hurt fades away into the night
It's gonna be alright
It's gonna be alright
At the start we all begin on level ground
At the start where life is formed and hope is found
In the dark, we're all afraid
We're just the same
But that's no help when you are gone and I remain
I don't know, I don't know why it was you and not I
And I hope you know I wish it wasn't so
So in-between each breath you take
There's a fear I can't erase
Oh but if I could... you know I would
So, I'll do what I can
It's not much but then you never really asked for that
You never really asked
So, if you want, I'll stay right here until the hurt fades away into the night
It's gonna be alright
It's gonna be alright
