The End of the Legendary Hearts - Charlie Fink

In a New York poetry collection

A birthday gift from you

It says: «Someday take these words from the page

Make them dance, give them life on a stage»

That was the dawn of the legendary hearts

We had a dream that seemed so simple at the start

To make an honest living, making honest art

And here I am trying to make sense of it all

Up all night trying to make sense of it all

When you told me it was over

I lost my self control

I was drunk but now I’m sober

Out here on my own

Though I still meant every word that I said

I do regret throwing a drum at your head

But it’s the end of the legendary hearts

We gave it everything and all we got was scarred

Our fire burned out when it was still a spark

And here I am trying to make sense of it all

Up all night trying to make sense of it all

So, goodbye to the legendary hearts

Goodbye to the legendary hearts

Light a candle, the world is getting dark

And here I am trying to make sense of it all

Up all night trying to make sense of it all
