once the catch has been caught and the money been counted
once the shot had been fired and the killing been done
when the fields are empty and the birds have flown
when your man is asleep lying at your side
once the train's pulled out and the curtain's been closed
once the holiday's over and the children have grown
once the bride's been kissed and the decorations down
when your girl is asleep lying at your side
what do we have but ourselves?
who are you at the end of your day?
what do we need but ourselves?
who are we at the end of our days?
once the question's been asked and the tears have dried away
once the doors have locked and the clouds have passed across
once the rain has cleared and the rubbish been taken out
when your child is asleep lying at your side
what do we have but ourselves?
who are you at the end of your day?
what do we need but ourselves?
who are we at the end of our days?
