Ending Song

Artichoke, I thought that we had more time
Spring she came and found me across state lines
And if I am so lucky as to pack a bag again
I'll know to pack for the wind
Thought I had our tickets but I lost them
Swear that I will take that train to Boston
We've been breathing wildfire smoke from valleys burning down below
Please be good to me while I am coughing

Cause if this is ending
It's cause everything's ending
But I'll wear your pastels while the seas and rent are rising
If this is ending there's no sense denying
Your good intentions, how I want you beside me
In our common, and our lovely
And our dicey, and our rumors
My sunburns, how I've soothed them
Our alter, our nuisance
The toothaches that set in
My jaw when I think of the city we met in
You found too early a room in my smile
But let's not count miles, everything's ending
And I wanna hear violins

Took four months to make it to the sand dunes
God I hope that we both get our garden soon
But you'll get sore if I stay yours
It's less than safe, but more than bored
But thank you for those wasted afternoons

Cause if this is ending
It's cause everything's ending
But I'll eat your salad
And I will go gently
To our common, and our lovely
And our dicey, and our rumors
My sunburns, how I've soothed them
Our alter, our nuisance
The toothaches that set in
My jaw when I think of the city we met in
You found too early a room in my smile
But let's not count miles, everything's ending
And I wanna be with a friend

So let's all have dinner
During the earthquake
Put on your best clothes
I wanna look at you
Bring in the flowers
Under our mountain
Pour me some water
While the cabinets are trembling
Be by my side here
Pay no attention
You were a daydream
There is God for you if you want it

If this is ending
It's cause everything's ending
But let's build a fire
Let's live it until then
If this is ending
Let it end in the morning
There were so many chances and I took the right one
On our common, and our lovely
And our dicey, and our rumors
My sunburns, how I've soothed them
Our new friends, our nuisance
The toothaches that set in
My jaw when I think of the city we met in
You found too early a room in my ghost town
But let's not count days now, everything's ending
And I wanna see where I've been
