Silver Spoon - Burning Both Ends lyrics

It was a picture perfect postcard day
When she walked down on the road
A day to get to heaven, a day to drop your load
And as I walked down smiling on the street
I heard again the words she'd said to me

You know I am burning, they say
It's better to burn out than it is to rust
I'm burning darling, away
The gravel and the dust
I'm burning both ends
And if I don't last the day
Tell my friends of the light
When I was burning away

On such a really picture postcard day
We went the longest road
Through places we had lived
Through places we had roamed
And when at last we got where we should be
I heard again the words she'd said to me

And so I'm burning, they say
It's better to burn out than to fade away
SI'm burning darling, today
And I know that it won't last
I'm burning both ends
And as I may not last the day
Tell my friends of the light
When I was burning away

It was a really perfect postcard day
When she went down to her home
A perfect day to get some rest
A day like seldom come
And as the ground was closing and she was set free
I heard again the words she'd said to me

And now I'm burning, they say
It's better to burn out than just disappear
I'm burning darling, away
It's getting dark but I have no fear
I'm burning both ends
And as I won't last the day
Tell my friends of the flames
When I was burning away
