What A Way To End

Lyrics: Robert Hunter
Music: Jim Lauderdale

What's that speck of rain floating on the window
What's that song of pain, deep down in my soul
What's that ball and chain, stretching from San Diego
End up in Chicago, where winds don't cease to blow

What a way to end a truly sweet affair
Broke too bad to mend, far beyond repair

Where else can I go I've not been before
Sleet and wind and snow knocking at your door
There's no use I know, just wanted to make sure
Singing sweet and low from Maine to Baltimore

What a way to end a truly sweet affair
Broke too bad to mend, far beyond repair

All the locks are changed, I don't know what for
Things could be arranged, but we both know the score
My key is off the chain, I'll leave it in your door
Head off in the rain, I won't be back no more

What a way to end a truly sweet affair
Broke too bad to mend, far beyond repair

What a way to end a truly sweet affair
Broke too bad to mend, far beyond repair
