Curtain Falls
February 1, 2001
Well there’s a picture I can see it clearly in my mind’s eye
It’s of you standing on a cliff with your arms spread wide
And it makes me smile ‘cause I can remember the look on your face
You went away so suddenly, we feel cheated inside Listened to the rumors, the conjecture, the falsehoods and lies And there’s just no explanation that is going to make it all okay
So the mystery intrigues us since we’ll never know Whether it was something deep inside that you tried not to show It’s not like the answer’s on a scrap of paper in a cardboard shoebox Labeled with a piece of tape marked, “Why”
Still your notes and journals they don’t offer a clue Sure there’s frustration and depression and the dark side of you But we all have our own demons frothing at the mouth Trying to rake and claw their way into our lives
And why, why I don’t really understand Sound and fury signify nothing You hear the curtain call And then the curtain falls
You went away so suddenly, we feel cheated inside Listened to the rumors, the conjecture, the falsehoods and lies And there’s just no explanation that is going to make it all okay
So the mystery intrigues us since we’ll never know Whether it was something deep inside that you tried not to show It’s not like the answer’s on a scrap of paper in a cardboard shoebox Labeled with a piece of tape marked, “Why”
Still your notes and journals they don’t offer a clue Sure there’s frustration and depression and the dark side of you But we all have our own demons frothing at the mouth Trying to rake and claw their way into our lives
And why, why I don’t really understand Sound and fury signify nothing You hear the curtain call And then the curtain falls
