Viewing lyrics for The End of Ivy by Duke Hollister.

Drink it in,
Drink it in!
Never know when
we'll see it again.

Feel the days
fade away...
Each one gone
before it begins.

Don't know why,
Don't know when,
We began to dream
It would never end.

Think again,
It's sinking in;
We're little children
playing pretend.

Stumbled into Wonderland,
beside a road we traveled on.
Any man would understand
You can't abandon Avalon.

Found our private promise land,
A palace on a golden shore.
Never spoken; always planned,
to remain here ever more.

Laughed as though
we had it made.
As if we bought
but hadn't paid.

but it was just
a masquerade
a vien conceit,
a cheap charade.

The lazy summer lasts so long
but waking dream can not go on...
At last we start to understand
why only fools dwell upon the sand!

Why utter words
you don't want to hear?
Just close your eyes
and you're blind to fear.
So we couldn't see
Our own absurdity.
It murders me how
fleet fly the years!
I seal the door now
with a single tear.
