Down To This
Mark Coker©2010

Broken melody; late night song
Slightly out of tune and out of key
Almost too long
The river of forgiveness runs both ways
There’s a good chance tomorrow’s gonna be
One of those days

The hand he used to hold is shaking
The heart she used to own is breaking
He wipes her tears away and leans in for one last kiss
It’s hard to believe that it has come to this

Echoes in the wind; soft-spoken vow
Slowly fades to black when they look back
It’s over now
The fire of love can’t be left alone
In the ashes there is nothing left to burn
And the flame is gone

She falls into his arms and falls apart
Finally, he can feel her beating heart
He breathes her in and gives her head a kiss
It’s hard to believe it’s down to this
