[Verse 1: John Wesley Harding]
These streets are full of nothing
And all the faces look the same
I'm trapped inside the feeling
That there's no one left to blame
Please do it for me, I did it for you
Let's get ready for another stage

[Refrain: John Wesley Harding]
Is this the end of something
Or the start of a brand new age?

[Verse 2: John Wesley Harding]
In this soulless city
Where our desolation grows
We search for diamonds shining out
From the bed of the river below
You'll find it out so don't hold it in
And you know it's gonna carry us far

[Refrain: John Wesley Harding]
Is this the end of something
Or the dawn of a rising star?

[Verse 3: David Lewis]
Now your eyes are keeping secrets
You don't look me straight in the face
I'm getting to thinking I've fallen behind
That I'm finishing last in this race
Will you wait for me like I waited for you?
Can we swallow our foolish pride?
[Refrain: David Lewis & John Wesley Harding]
Is this the end of something
Or the rise of a new‑born tide?
Is this the end of something
Or the rise of a new‑born tide?

[Verse 4: David Lewis & John Wesley Harding]
They're promising the earth now
With a smile at the start of the day
We journeyed down the road a while
Thinking of some things to say
It's an open book worth a long hard look
At the sights that we locked inside

[Refrain: David Lewis & John Wesley Harding]
Is this the end of something
Or the start of another life?
Is this the end of something
Or the start of another life?

[Verse 5: David Lewis, David Lewis & John Wesley Harding]
I can't predict the future
But it won’t be like the past
Our road it stretches on for miles
And the sky is overcast
It's an open gate, it's an empty slate
We can write everything anew
[Refrain: David Lewis, David Lewis & John Wesley Harding]
Is this the end of something
Or the birth of me and you?
Is this the end of something
Or the birth of me and you?
Is this the end of something
Or the birth of me and you?
