I traveled far through the lonely wood
Crawled when I had to, ran when I could
No way to know what I would find
Beauty and ruin at the end of the line

This crooked road that I wound up on
Led me to you, now you are gone
Our sky of blue turned cold and gray
Beauty and ruin at the end of the day

Beauty in the sinking sun
Union of two lonely ones
Together in the dark
Ruin in the breaking dawn
Unforgiving light falls on
Two hearts torn apart

Heed the story in a face grown old
See the fading glory of a dying rose
Savor the sweet and bitter wine
Beauty and ruin, I was yours, you were mine

We were like wisps in the winds of chance
We'd fall and twist, we'd spin and dance
You spoke to me in words that rhyme
Beauty and ruin forever entwined
Beauty and ruin at the end of the line"
