Lyrics End of the Road (feat. Diesel) [Demo] - Jimmy Barnes

As I walk alone at night along the cobbled street
The wind's blowing hard, with the rain and snow
I turn my collar up and throw my hands in pockets deep
But I just can't seem to push away the cold

Wander down the high street past the chapel closed
And in this town no angels, a place that God won't go
Walk these filthy streets at night alone he knows
He's never gonna make it through that walk alone

The end of the road is not where I remember
It seems further than the last time I was here
As the fire in my heart now turns to embers
And the final step I take is getting near

I hear shouting from the bar down on the corner
In the next room my mother's lying on the floor
The blood will spill and I wish I could have warned her
That he doesn't want her around him anymore

Each night the same story as she surrenders
Whatever love they had won't last them forever

The end of the road is not where I remember
It seems further than the last time I was here
As the fire in my heart now turns to embers
And the final step I take is getting near

Every day I hope my soul surrenders
As I look up to the dark sky every night
I fall down to my knees
As a voice is asking please
As I'm making my way towards the light

Each breath I take gets harder just to keep it down
And the blood's no longer rushing through my vein
Holdin' out for your sweet voice but I don't hear a sound
And my head keeps hanging lower down in shame

The end of the road is not where I remember
It seems further than the last time I was here
As the fire in my heart now turns to embers
And the final step I take is getting near
