In the bitter night, they told their truths and lies.

In the bitter night, they told their truths and lies.
Followed by the days, they said their good-byes


(Glad to see this thread started up again, Thanks Lynne)
Being happy doesn't mean everything is perfect.

It means you've decided to see beyond the imperfection

In the bitter night, they told their truths and lies.
Followed by the days, they said their good-byes
Each one in his private pain
The measure of a country's greatness is its ability to retain compassion in times of crisis         ~~~~~~~~~Thurgood Marshall

The worst loneliness is not to be comfortable with yourself.    ~~~~~~~~~ Mark Twain

Then too late, for Jack is slain

Followed by the days, they said their good-byes
Each one in his private pain
Then too late, for Jack is slain
And Ennis learns they were more than just "them guys"

It took them 20 minutes to get to the motel
Been 4 years since their last farewell

Been 4 years since their last farewell
With whiskey and lust they jounced in time.

Still so young and in their prime

Been 4 years since their last farewell
With whiskey and lust they jounced in time.
Still so young and in their prime
Now torn between both heaven and hell.
