Carpenters - at the end of a song

이 가사는 외로움과 상실감을 담고 있으며, 사랑이 깨지고 나서 느끼는 고독한 감정과 끝난 노래 속에서 다시 시작하고픈 마음을 표현한다
어떤 이야기도 완벽한 사랑을 바꿀 수 없다는 깨달음을 통해, 과거의 기억이 흐려져 가는 것을 이야기한다
마지막으로, 다시 노래하기 위한 마음을 설득하는 것이 얼마나 어려운지를 전한다

They tell me, somewhere this life isn't crazy
But I've travelled the world far and wide, and I say they're wrong
And don't tell me, stories that music's a lady
It's not when the singer's alone, at the end of a song
At the end of a song there's no one
After the last note is played
Only the memory stays
Then even that fades away
And there is nothing so hard
As convincing your heart
That you should start singing again
You told me, nothing could change perfect lovers
But like every promise you've made, it broke before long
It's lonely, falling away from each other
But we've come to the last of our words, and the end of our song
At the end of a song there's no one
After the last note is played
Only the memory stays
Then even that fades away
And there's is nothing so hard
As convincing your heart
That you should start singing again
That you should start singing again
