How It Comes To This
Beth Amsel
©2001 Good Egg Music
Come quick the fire's dead
it's an ashen pale from a coal hot red
this is how it goes out you said
hmmm
I shut my eyes and squeeze them tight
pace myself with a fond goodnight
and hope against hope that I'll be alright
hmmm

How it comes to this
a sorry ending from that first promising kiss
you don't always receive
the equal measure of what you spend
I am homeward bound again.

Ride out of town on a narrow gauge rail
you send me letters through the US mail
with flowered stamps you leave a post mark trail
hmmm
And every passage hurts like hell
try to prove ourselves worthy through the stories we tell
and convince each other that's its just as well
hmmm

How it comes to this
a sorry ending from that first beautiful kiss
you don't always receive
the equal measure of what you spend
I am homeward bound again
