	Near the End

	And when you feel you're near the end
	Will you just turn it over and start again?
	Is there a stirring in your heart
	As the time comes when we will have to part?

	And when you feel you're near the end
	And there's a stranger where once was a friend
	And you are left without a word
	Only the whispers that you've overheard.

	Standing in silence, holding my breath
	Disconnected and dry
	And though I'm certain that there's nothing left
	To hold on to, to give or to try,
	Some things never change, no don't ever change
	And I'm feeling the cold
	Thinking that we're getting older and wiser
	When we're just getting old.

	And when you feel you're near then end
	And what once burned so bright is growing dim
	And when you see what's been achieved
	Is there a feeling that you've been deceived?
