about

Written way back in 1994 when I still had youthful suicide fantasies, so this is the oldest song on the album, but it seemed to fit with the theme of the rest of it.

I started this recording in 1997, Mark and Armando added their parts in 2000. I added bass around 2001 but didn't sing and mix it until March 2010.

lyrics

On this night before the end
I’m feelin’ things that will not come again
I’m more than bold enough to bend
On this night before the end

I’m feeling something rather small
It may be nothing; I don’t feel at all
Not some dead mesmerizing call
I answered long ago but dropped the ball

On this night before the end
I’m feelin’ things that will not come again
Let all good willingness descend
To this night before the end

V4: I keep something in my sight
It may be nothing by my appetite
I’ve got no dignity to fight
It may be something, but it’s not alright

On this night before the end
I’m feelin’ things that will not come again
I’m more than old enough to fend
Through this night before the end

Another fifteen years or so
I suspected this was not a go
Kept getting tall but ceased to grow
Kept running out of things, but not too slow

On this night before the end
I’m feelin’ things that will not come again
Some letters I forgot to send
To this night before the end

Wait a minute
It may be nothing
I’m too young to die
Wait a minute
Make it longer
I’ve passed you out, goodbye

On this night before the end
I’m feelin’ things that will not come again
I’m mostly cold enough to mend
On this night before the end

On this night before the end
Feeling things that won’t come again
On this night before the end
I’m cold enough to end
