Journey's End (Part 1) • checked for BtP by Matthew Fisher

Thanks to the kind co-operation of Matthew Fisher, BtP is proud to present the authenticated words for his 1973 solo-album, Journey's End

So the story now draws quickly to an end
And you've got just what you want, my friend
It didn't take so long.

And the money, was it really all worthwhile
Can it ever buy a smile for you
Or put right what was wrong?

And do you think
Now that you have made the grade
Losing all the friends you made
Everyone will think a whole lot more of you?

It's all over
It was over long ago
But you didn't seem to know, my friend
And so I stuck around

But was I dreaming? Was I really so naive
That I let you walk all over me
And never made a sound?

And do your eyes
Still see what they used to see
When you try and picture me
Thanking you for everything you've done to me?

Or can they see
Why I had to get away,
Had to find a better way,
Had to get a long, long way away from you?

And do your eyes
Still see what they used to see
When you try and picture me
Thanking you for everything you've done to me?

Or can they see
Why I had to get away,
Had to find a better way,
Had to be a long, long way away from you?
