  • At the end of the end
    It's the start of a journey
    To a much better place
    And this wasn't bad
    So a much better place
    Would have to be special
    No need to be sad

    On the day that I die I'd like jokes to be told
    And stories of old to be rolled out like carpets
    That children have played on
    And laid on while listening to stories of old

    At the end of the end
    It's the start of a journey
    To a much better place
    And a much better place
    Would have to be special
    No reason to cry

    On the day that I die I'd like bells to be rung
    And songs that were sung to be hung out like blankets
    That lovers have played on
    And laid on while listening to songs that were sung

    At the end of the end
    It's the start of a journey
    To a much better place
    And a much better place
    Would have to be special
    No reason to cry
    No need to be sad

  • David Glenn Moore from High Ridge, MissouriBeing of Celtic descent (like McCartney and Lennon), this song touched me "to my deep heart's core".
  • Britt from Boston, MaThis song makes me cry a lot, because I've never actually heard 'Paul McCartney' and 'death' in the same phrase. I think If Paul McCartney died, I would die too. My life would shatter and I would seriously fall apart. Paul will always be my favorite person in the world.
  • Jose from São Paulo, BrazilOK. Here we go again. Any 'Paul is Dead' clue here?
