Bb      Eb       F       Bb
Hey hey hey, the end is near!
      Gm
On a good day,
Eb             Dm           Eb
you can see the end from here.
       Bb        Bb/G
But I won't turn back, now,
           Gm      Eb
though the way is clear;
        Bb  Gm  Bb      F  Bb
I will stay for the remainder.

Bb     Eb            F        Bb
I saw a life, and I called it mine.
    Gm
I saw it,
Eb            Dm     Eb
drawn so sweet and fine,
      Bb        Bb/G
and I had begun to fill
    Gm      Eb
in all the lines,
       Bb  Gm  Bb        F   Bb
right down to what we'd name her.

Bb         Eb        F         Bb
Our nature does not change by will.
       Gm
In the winter,
Eb         Dm      Eb
'round the ruined mill,
     Bb         Bb/G
the creek is lying,
  Gm        Eb
flat and still;
      Bb Gm  Bb          F  Bb
it is water, though it's frozen.

Bb             Eb          F             Bb
So, 'cross the years, and miles, and through,
      Gm
on a good day,
Eb         Dm             Eb
you can feel my love for you.
         Bb      Bb/G
Will you leave me be,
           Gm        Eb
so that we can stay true
        Bb  Gm   Bb       F  Bb
to the path that you have chosen?
