 The prizefighter and the heiress

 Both talented in their way

 Both fighting for inheritance

 Both entitled to their day

 Said the fella, "I've thrown my gloves

 And loosed my shoes

 Come join me in the ring, my friend

 Quit these lonesome blues

 Quit my lonesome blues"

 The lady thought the longest while

 And bathed the time in light

 She came to the conclusion

 That he hadn't won the fight

 "Put your gloves back on," she says

 "And steady with your pride

 You've dealt the eldest hand, my love

 But that part of me has died

 That part of me has died"

 I'm a fortune telling concubine

 I'm a troubleshot saloon

 You're a welterweight companion

 And your light is at the loom

 I'd rather chase my options now

 And place you in the past

 The future's not yet written

 Though the die behind me is cast

 The die behind me is cast

 I don't know anything about you

 But I'm sure that the doors of perception

 Are true in their ways

 In the face of it all

 In the stark staring face of it

 If you ask me where I'm going

 I'll tell you where I've been

 'Cept you don't remember yesterday

( )

And I don't remember anything

 "Journey me west

 Or journey me south"

 Said, "Please put me down

( )

Where my heart meets my mouth

 Meets my mouth"

 End of the requiem

 End of the fight

 End of the struggles

 At the end of the night

 Stop where you laugh

 And look where you walk

 Manage your head

( )

As you lighten your talk

 Solace made bones

 And they're chanting for air

 Sucking from mead

( )

In the coast of Rosslare

 Of Rosslare

 End of the requiem

 End of the fight

 End of the struggles

 At the end of the night

Me and my dream

 As me and my girl

 Have more than

( )

A thousand square miles to twirl

 The earth loves her children

 Look and don't break your stride

 Keep watching forward

( )

Got an owl, watch my pride

 Watch my pride

 Thanks for the dark

 Thanks for the light

 Thanks for my guide

 At the end of the night

 End of the requiem

 End of the fight

 End of the struggles

 At the end, at the end

 At the end of the night
