Mtume — Closer to the End

[Verse 1] We have reached our fork in the road–just can't make it Now, love just won't satisfy like before–just can't take it And I know and you know That we, we've been sneaking around So come on, come on, come on Come on baby–let's deal with the real [Chorus] (I know, you know, let's leave it be) We're closer to the end than the beginning (But you know that, love) Was never meant to last Stop the lies, just who are we kidding? Lеt's not try to cling to the past [Verse 2] Time is promised to no onе–it's only borrowed for a while Surely, we've had our place in the sun Now shadows dance in the twilight of our lost romance Uh-huh, so come on, come on, come on, come on baby Why don't you say what you feel? [Chorus] (Ooh child) Closer to the end, than the beginning (But you know that, love) We both fear the last goodbye It hurts to think that we were so willing To let such a strong thing die [Outro] Closer to the end (oooh ooh ooh, ooh ooh) Closer to the end (oooh ooh ooh, ooh ooh) Closer to the end (oooh ooh ooh, ooh ooh) Closer to the end (oooh ooh ooh, ooh ooh) Closer to the end...
