That's All, Amen, Close The Door - Richard Thompson

That’s all.

That’s all there was

Say Amen.

Close the door

She gave as much as she had to give

Please don’t ask for more

Please don’t ask for more

That’s all.

The curtain’s down

The lights are up.

Go home

Did I care?

Was I in love?

In love enough to know

In love enough to know

There’s precious few that line that road

She welled from deep and overflowed

There’s no cup to hold the past

Too rich to drink, too rich to last

That’s all

Well, you wish

But don’t wish for me

As if a wish

Could cheat the fall

Oh just believe

And leave it be

There’s beauty in what’s brief

There’s beauty in what’s small

That’s all

There’s some who dare and some who shine

And some who only drag behind

And some who reap what others sow

When memories fail well who’s to know

That’s all.

That’s all there was

Say Amen.

Close the door

She gave as much as she had to give

Oh please don’t ask for more

Please don’t ask for more

That’s all
