about

They lyrics to In Closing describe what would have happened had the evil husband from Don’t Open The Curtains gotten his way. Essentially, it’s nothing but a tender, sentimental, murder ballad. It was the last song written for this album. I wrote the quieter end section first. It was based on a little chord sequence I wrote on the guitar that blossomed once I knew the context of the song. I next wrote the instrumental section and originally intended that it follow the quieter section. Michael sagely suggested that the instrumental come first and be faded in slowly. So that’s what we did.

lyrics

IN CLOSING

I left the dishes in the sink
I poured some water in the bowl
I put your flowers in a vase
To hide the black spots on my soul

I slowly walked inside your room
I left the package on the bunk
I locked the door and pulled the blind
And laid my suitcase in the trunk

I settled back and turned the key
I pulled the car onto the road
I pushed the detonation switch
And watched your sleeping house explode

I’m closing my mind
I’m closing my eyes
I’m turning the page
I’m in my disguise

I’m closing the door
I’m closing the dream
No more possibilities
