Alone at half past midnight
She calls his name
Afraid that in the morning
Nothing will change
And where, where are the things that we fought for
Where, where is the love
And where, where are the answers you told us
Would come from up above
This is how the world ends
This is how the world ends
This is how the world ends
In a whisper
She says she'd like to tell you
Just where they met
She says she's trying
But she can't remember yet
Sometimes when she's at home
And she's all alone
She thinks she hears him call her
On the telephone
And she says
Where, where is the love that you promised
And where, where have you gone
I search for you but when I get near
You leave me on my own
This is how the world ends
This is how the world ends
This is how the world ends
In a whisper
Some days she tries to find him
But where should she look
Should she look in the city
Or in a book
She calls his name
Afraid that in the morning
Nothing will change
And where, where are the things that we fought for
Where, where is the love
And where, where are the answers you told us
Would come from up above
This is how the world ends
This is how the world ends
This is how the world ends
In a whisper
She says she'd like to tell you
Just where they met
She says she's trying
But she can't remember yet
Sometimes when she's at home
And she's all alone
She thinks she hears him call her
On the telephone
And she says
Where, where is the love that you promised
And where, where have you gone
I search for you but when I get near
You leave me on my own
This is how the world ends
This is how the world ends
This is how the world ends
In a whisper
Some days she tries to find him
But where should she look
Should she look in the city
Or in a book
