5 long verses...oh my!

lyrics

I SAW THE END OF THE MATTER words/music: bill mallonee

i saw the end of the matter
it was just like i thought it would be
a long hall of mirrors
reflecting dimly
and questions? they hung in the air
like outlaws from a tree
i saw the end of the matter
it was just like i thought it would be

i saw the end of the matter
it was more than i had hoped
call it the perfect punchline
to a perfect joke
you were the beacon in the lighthouse
but i was n'er good at swimming seas
i saw the end of the matter
it was just like i thought it would be

i saw the end of the matter
it was just like a walk downtown
i'd lost my hope just like most folks
strugglin' not to drown
mind you now, it was just a glimpse
or maybe it was a dream
i saw the end of the matter
it was just like i thought it would be

now truth? she had long since fled
might say she sought a higher ground
and justice? she'd long been dead
simply nowhere to be found
so much to say & no one to hear it
Baby, it's just like old times, you see?
i saw the end of the matter
it was just like i thought it would be

now, people talk in riddles
and people speak in sums
people speak in digits
and people speak in tongues
but a picture's worth 1000 words
so let me draw it out for thee
i saw the end of the matter
it was just like i thought it would be
