In the end will it matter that you’ve gone In the end will I go on minding that you’ve gone Will the night always seem so long Is it really darkest before dawn Will I see whiskey as a Mother In the end
In the end will I smash my brains with drinking Till I fall down on the floor Will I hiccup and jabber Saying things I never meant Will I kiss and cry and wake to find A sordid stranger by my bed
Will the world shake its sensible head And say the words that have to be said She’s got a problem
Every problem has a solution in the end And solutions must be final For help gets so unhelpful near the end
When I take my last ride Down the Big Dipper slide Will I care, will it matter If the world should say She had a problem She had a problem She had a problem
In the end will it matter that you’ve gone In the end will I go on minding that you’ve gone Will the night always seem so long Is it really darkest before dawn Will I see whiskey as a Mother In the end
