Closing Time Lyrics

Should we get straight to the essentials
Will I be strong enough to cope
Should I reply to tricky questions
When I know my answer's wrong
This is a one-way situation
You cannot speak of what you did
And while you left so many questions
We must guess that this is it

And now i'm lost and overruled
My eyes sore and
As time was closing in on you
Fear stroking

Would you still like me if I blew it
If I deceived you in your grief
Though I can't know how you have suffered
'Cause we live things differently
And now i'm lost and overruled
My eyes sore and
I gently lay my hands on you
Fear stroking

Let's believe
I try to release you
You call on me
But I can't receive you
Come on and share this thing with me
I know you can't
I know you can't
Why can't you share this thing with me

And now i'm lost and overruled
My eyes are closed and
As time was closing in on you
Fear stroking

And now i'm lost and overruled
My eyes sore and
I gently lay my hands on you
Fear stroking

I know you can't
