Andy Gullahorn The End Of A World
I see the lights in the house
And the people inside
Clearing dishes from the table
Like it's a regular night
And the ones on 12th Street
Out for an evening walk
How can they keep moving
When the world just stopped
Doesn't anybody know
I still run all the errands
Still answer the calls
Still sit down for dinner
As if I'm hungry at all
And the election campaigners
Still come to the door
But there's no use explaining
Why I don't care anymore
Doesn't anybody know
It's the end of a world
It's the end of a world
It's the end of a world
Pass the butterfly garden
Through the elevator doors
Nobody else is waiting
For the fifth floor
They got balloons and flowers
They got expectant smiles
They got a hope for the future
That I just can't find
At the end of a world
At the end of a world
At the end of a world
I have to take all these questions
I have to lay them down
At the feet of a God
I can't believe in now
But little girl, when you see him
Tell him why it's so hard
On this side of believing
Where it feels so dark
At the end of a world
At the end of a world
At the end of a world
At the end of a world
At the end of a world
At the end of a world
Where I see the lights of the houses
And the people inside
Clearing dishes from the table
Like it's a regular night
