This Mortal Coil
Fond Affections
[Verse 1]
Fond affections are never said
They're only sung in songs
I never was naive enough
To know when I was wrong

[Refrain]
There's no light at the end of it all
Let's all sit down and cry
There's no light at the beginning
Let's all sit down and cry

[Chorus]
Now it's time to say goodbye
Now it's being forced upon you
It's just that person by your side remaining distant

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 2]
Now the winter's growing close
The days are getting older
I can tell by your face
That your heart is getting colder

[Refrain]
There's no light at the end of it all
Let's all sit down and cry
There's no light at the beginning
Let's all sit down and cry
