lyrics

Someday you'll know why I found life was worth leaving,
So if I find a way to spend a holiday away from home,
I'll let you know.

I'll pack the maps as you sort through photographs
But when culled a shoebox worth of pictures from your birth to twenty four
Always looks so small.

You were just four years old (unaware a hard rain was fallin’)
When we closed our record store (iodine stained lips a-glowin’)
Where you'd spent countless days
Your blue eyes all ablaze
Reflecting off the vinyl wall.

You said,
"If our great escape involves a hideaway in eastern Rome,
I guess we'll go"

But oh, this could be the end of us,
Could be the end of us, you never know
This could be the end of us,
Could be the end of us, you never know

If our great escape involves a hideaway in eastern Rome
I guess we'll go…

But in the air tonite, the soft scent of sin prevails
You'll be my pride and joy and yet the reason I failed
Cradle my head tonite and I'll be ever in your debt.

This could be the end of us,
Could be the end of us, you never know
This could be the end of us,
Could be the end of us, you never know

On the autobahn, you fell back to sleep, oh…
On your mother’s lap, you fell back to sleep, oh…
