Bring Down The Curtain
J.J. Cale · Other Songs - J.J. Cale
It's so dark outside, soon be light
Enough is enough, can't do it no more
Bring down the curtain, close the door
Sometime you do, sometime you don't
Sometime you will and sometime you won't
Sometimes it's better to leave it alone
Slow it down, ease it, you let it be gone, gone, gone
Bring down the curtain, we've been movin' on
Say what you want, it's something else again
No matter what you say, it'll come to an end
Enough is enough, can't do it no more
Bring down the curtain
Bring down the curtain
Bring down the curtain, close the door
