When The Last Curtain Falls Lyrics - Mountain Soul Ii - Patty Loveless

Even though it still hurt from the words you threw at me 

There's no pleasure at all, I'm watching you fall to your knees 

'Cause the tables have turned and I'm finally learning to live 

Forgive and let go, there's no sweet revenge at love's angry end 

And we all need to know 

When the last curtain falls with a final goodbye 

And the bitter cold darkness of night floods the days of our lives 

With a silence so loud we can't feel at all 

There's no reason or cause to cheer or applaud when the last curtain falls 

There'll be ironies that you're wearing, the look I once wore 

And in truth I've longed for this moment to settle the score 

But it's not all that clear, now hearing you echo the thoughts of my soul 

The justice of time is really not mine 

And I want you to know 

When the last curtain falls with a final goodbye 

And the bitter cold darkness of night floods the days of our lives 

With a silence so loud we can't feel at all 

There's no reason or cause to cheer or applaud when the last curtain falls 

There's no reason or cause to cheer or applaud when the last curtain falls
