Turn off the noise, I'll light you a candle I've been gone on the road too long Lend me this moment, tell me all about it I've been gone on the road too long Time creeps forward without failure You can't help but leave some things behind Oh, it's the end of the world again, my darling I can almost see the fire in the sky You say crowds have gathered, the smoke it billows I've been gone on the road too long There's nothing left here, it's all ash, no tender I've been gone on the road too long You can't go backwards, that time is over You can't help but leave some things behind Oh, it's the end of the world again, my darling I can almost see the fire in the sky I never gave you the best And I don't think we've seen the worst yet 'Cause I'm gonna leave, I know no other way I'll be gone on the road too long Don't wanna break down, don't wanna break you No I just keep on singing these songs Time creeps forward without failure You can't help but leave some things behind Oh, it's the end of the world again, my darling I can almost see the fire in the sky Yes, it's the end of the world again, my darling I can almost see the fire in the sky
