End Of The Road
Wine and music soothed our joined souls
when ebb tides washed away.
We set fame and wealth as our goals
found not in Frisco bay!
When quick passions our lost souls ate
clear waters could not stay.
Nothing stopped darkest Hands of Fate
should we have thought to pray?
Where loving-sight lost its clear views
good no longer danced.
We both fell, forgetting our dues
gone was life we romanced!
Why did wine and music thus lose
to Fate we did not choose?
