Lyrics
End of Love
Verse 1
The winds are blowing westerly
A picture of tranquility
As I stand here looking out from my front door
Verse 2
You left unexpectedly
On the first day of the new century
You couldn't stand the silence anymore
Verse 3
1000 days in Tuscany
I tried to give my heart to thee
Now I look where you once walked before
Chorus 1
Now the end of love is testing me
Loneliness takes the rest of me
The end of love
The end of love
Verse 4
I came to you when your song called me
Loving you so eagerly
Giving all my heart, all my soul
Verse 5
Our life became a tapestry
Of children, work and family
But nothing I could do would fill up that hole, in your heart
Verse 6
Your heart kept looking out to sea
In search of some unknown mystery
A destiny I could not control
Chorus 2
And now the end of love is testing me
Loneliness takes the rest of me
The end of love
The end of love
Chorus 3
And ,now the end of love is testing me
Loneliness takes the rest of me
The end of love
The end of love
The end of love
The end of love
Ending 1st Verse
The winds are blowing westerly
A picture of tranquility
As I stand here looking out from my front door
