lyrics

When all the doors have opened, 
when all the messes made,
all the choices followed,
 by a judges hammer sway.
When all the fears have smiled,
when all the plays have staged
all the statues tumbled,
by a woman wearing grey.

So what do we do now?
 When the songs are all but sung?
can we go about our lives, 
feeling proud of what we’ve done?
And will see ever see each other, 
the way we used to years ago?
Will the lives we shared together,
 be enough to let this go?

I don’t know...

When all the wells are empty, 
when all wine is dry.

All the gatherings ended, 
by tomorrows morning light.

And when all mistakes like this,
don't seem to matter as time goes by.

So what do I do now, 
when all my friends have left
.
We’ve all stayed and moved to places,

that grow apart as time is spent.
But may we always have Paris, 
may the grass always stay green.
And I will see you when we can, 
and let us smile at where we’ve been. 



And if I close my eyes,
I see the ones I love.
And if I close my mind, 

I see everyone.

For all that’s here tomorrow,

is happening today,

and everything that’s happened,
is still just on its way.
