Closing Time from Porch Songs by Neil Fernandes

Closing Time

It's time to leave
The music slows
Dancing’s done
Last drinks poured
Loners linger
But I feel fine
You’re here with me
At closing time

The story’s told
Every word’s been said
The pages turned
The book’s been read
When silence falls
I'm feeling fine
You’re here beside me
At closing time

Home is where
The heart resides
There ain’t no doubt
It’s cut and dried

At journey’s end
All bridges crossed
The wasted years
Don’t count the cost
At heaven’s gate
We won’t wait in line
With you beside me
At closing time

In kingdom come
With angels wings
We’ll take our seats
With queens and kings
Jewels and crowns
Bells will chime
With you beside me
At closing time
