Silver Spoon - Burning both ends lyrics

rate me

It was picture perfect postcard day

when I followed her down the road,

a day to get to heaven, a day to drop your load

and as I walk down smiling on the street

I heard again the words she'd said to me:

You know I am burning, they say

it's better to burn out than it is to rust

so I am burning darling, away

the gravel and the dust,

I am burning both ends,

and if I don't last the day,

tell my friends of the light

when I was burning away

On such a really picture postcard day

we went the longest road,

thru places where we had lived,

thru places we had roamed

and when at last we got where we should be

I heard again the words she'd said to me:

And so I am burning, they say

it's better to burn out than to fade away

so I am burning darling, today,

and I know that it won’t last,

I am burning both ends,

and as I may not last the day,

tell my friends of the light

when I was burning away

It was really a perfect postcard day

when she went down to her last home,

a perfect day to get some rest,

a day like seldom come

and as the ground was closing and she was set free

I heard again the words she'd said to me:

And now I am burning, they say

it's better to burn out than just disappear

I am burning darling, away

it's getting dark but I have no fear

I am burning both ends,

and as I won't last the day,

tell my friends of the flames

when I was burning away<br />
