Once again, all alone
I stayed too long or I left too soon

Drapes are drawn
On my sad little throne
Some lines were crossed
In our warm borrowed room

After the actors left our party
And all sweet illusions were gone
One more drink, the bottle's empty

One more word, the deed is done
One bad move out of many
One more war won't be won

Our best work
We've done our part
Our hopeless dreams
Of an open heart

It's getting late
Let's go to bed
It's all been played
And it's all been said

After the actors left our party
And all sweet illusions were gone
One more drink, the bottle's empty

One more word, the deed is done
One bad move out of many
One more war won't be won

Once again, all alone
I stayed too long or I left too soon
