Finishing Line - El Hall
LYRICS:
I'm an old man, or I'm getting there
My fading looks and my thinning hair
But for this old racehorse there's a finishing line
You know your youth when you've had your time
So let loose my hand and turn away
These things that matter to you will be gone someday
Cos heaven's a place and it's far from here
I'm coming home Mum don't shed a tear
There's a line on the horizon
Coming into view
There's a man by your side
and he's losing his grip on you
I'm so sorry for the end
Lover, my best friend
Don't wave no palm leaves I don't want no fuss
Don't need no poetry just the two of us
Cos to see your face was the greatest joy
A girl could give this mannish boy
But there's a line on the horizon
Coming into view
And the rooster at dawn
Tells me that the waiting hour is through
There's nothing you can lend
Lover, my best friend
So take my heart it's black as coal
Let dark meet light in your gentle soul
Cos I'm nearly awake when I'm at your side
But love's a coward in the face of pride
There's a line on the horizon
Coming into view
I want you to know
It was no reflection on you
Each road has an end
Lover, my best friend
