When All Is Said and Done

Here's to us, one more toast and then we'll pay the bill
Deep inside, both of us could feel the autumn chill
Birds of passage, you and me, we fly instinctively
When the summer's over and the dark clouds hide the sun
Neither you nor I'm to blame, when all is said and done

It's been there in my dreams, the scene I see unfold
Through at last, flesh and blood to cherish and to hold
Careless fools will suffer, yes, I know and I confess
Once I lost my way when something good had just begun
Lesson learned, it's history, when all is said and done

In our lives, we have walked some strange and lonely treks
Slightly worn but dignified and not too old for sex
Clear-headed and open-eyed, worth nothing left untried
Standing calmly at the crossroads, no desire to run
There's no hurry anymore, when all is said and done

Standing calmly at the crossroads, no desire to run
There's no hurry anymore, when all is said and done
