You're leaving here

With nothing

Can't take anything

'Cause you have to move on

You were the wise one

Putting your disguise on

Lying to protect

You're chasing after wind

Why should you be

If no one's there to see?

All of your deeds

Are raindrops in the sea

What do we mean

If nothing has meaning?

If in the end

We're chasing after wind

I had everything

That don't leave me anything

I had my plans

Crumble in the sand

Now I understand

I was born a natural man

Racing through the end

And chasing after wind

Why should I be

If nothing has made me?

All that I've done

Will flame out with the sun

Why should I sing

If nothing has meaning?

You know, when you're

always under bright lights...

you can't see the stars.

You forget things.

You forget that somebody

put the stars there...

and that they love you

enough to die for you.

And it's that kind of love

that makes songs worth singing

and life worth living.

I had that love.

I threw it away.

Because I am a fool.

I'm sorry.

You're right. We have a

chance to do things right.

You really think

she'll take you back?

Either way, this is goodbye.

Jed, stop!

You can't do this.

I can.

You're watching it happen.

You realize what you

are walking away from?

- Nothing that matters.

- Let me tell you something.

You walk out that door,

I will sue you for every

show you canceled.

I know. Go ahead.

It's only money, Stan.

I've lost much worse.

- Ray.

- Dad.

Hey. Unh!

- I missed you.

- You're late.

I know. I'm sorry

I'm a little late,

- but I'm here, right?

- Uh-huh.

Where's your mom?

She's over there

by the wine people.

Heh. By the wine people?

Okay.

I'm gonna go talk

to her, all right?

- Okay.

- I love you.

- Okay.

- You know that? Ow.

I'll see you in

a little bit, okay?

- Okay.

- All right.

I'm glad you could make it.

Excuse me.

Rose.

What are you doing here?

I thought you had a show.

I love you.

- I love you.

- Jed, stop. Just stop.

I did it. I quit it.

Everything. Tonight.

I was on stage

and I just walked away,

because it's not what I want.

I want you.

- You had your chance, Jed.

- Rose.

- It's really good, Rose.

- Oh, good, good. Thank you.

That's our Syrah.

It's from '95.

'95 was one

of our best years, so...

Is that who I think it is?

Jed, get off the stage.

Rose, I wanna play you a song.

All right? I've wanted

to play it so much.

I never can.

It makes me think of you.

I've heard it.

Everyone has.

Not like this. Please.

No.

To everything

Turn, turn, turn

There is a season

Turn, turn, turn

And a time to every purpose

Under heaven

A time to be born

A time to die

A time to plant

A time to reap

A time to kill

A time to heal

A time to laugh

A time to weep

To everything

Turn, turn, turn

There is a season

Turn, turn, turn

And a time for every purpose

Under heaven

A time to build up

A time to break down

A time to dance

A time to mourn

A time to cast away stones

A time to gather

Stones together

To everything

Turn, turn, turn

There is a season

Turn, turn, turn

And a time for every purpose

Under heaven

A time to gain

A time to lose

A time to rend

A time to sew

A time to love

A time to hate

A time of peace

Rose, know it's not too late

I'm so sorry.

Marrying you is the only

smart thing I ever did.

You're enough.

You're a gift from God.

All I want

is to be your husband.

I wanna raise our children.

I will never leave you again.

I'll never sing another note

if you're not there to hear it.

Please forgive me.

It'll take a really long time.

I just cleared my schedule

for forever.

And if it takes forever,

I'll be here forever.

Remember your creator

in the days of your youth.

Before the pitcher is shattered

at the spring

and the dust returns

to the ground it came from,

and the spirit returns

to the God who gave it.

You who are young,

be happy while you are young

and let your heart give you joy

in the days of your youth.

Goodbye, Dad.

I love you.

Enjoy life with your wife,

whom you love,

all the days

of this meaningless life

that God

has given you under the sun.

For in the realm of the dead

where you are going,

there is neither working,

nor planning,

nor knowledge, nor wisdom.

Now all has been heard,

here is the end of the matter:

Fear God

and keep his commandments,

for this is the duty

of all mankind,

for God will bring every deed

into judgment,

including every hidden thing,

whether it is good or evil.

To everything

Turn, turn, turn

There is a season

Turn, turn, turn

And a time to every purpose

Under heaven

A time to be born

A time to die

A time to plant

A time to reap

A time to kill

A time to heal

A time to laugh

A time to weep

To everything

Turn, turn, turn

There is a season

Turn, turn, turn

And a time to every purpose

Under heaven

A time to build up

A time to break down

A time to dance

A time to mourn

A time to cast away stones

A time to gather

Stones together

To everything

Turn, turn, turn

There is a season

Turn, turn, turn

And a time to every purpose

Under heaven

A time of love

A time of hate

A time of war

A time of peace

A time you may embrace

A time to refrain

From embracing

To everything

Turn, turn, turn

There is a season

Turn, turn, turn

And a time to every purpose

Under heaven

A time to gain

A time to lose

A time to rend

A time to sew

A time for love

A time for hate

A time for peace

I swear it's not too late

One, two.

I think you'll know this one.

Oh, yeah.

Oh, it's a beautiful voice

That made it.

Your arrows have pierced me

I'm bleeding

I'm shaking

You have overwhelmed me

And made my heart grow

I cried all these tears

With fears I was forsaken

After I've begged you

To leave me alone

I cannot hear

I have no sight

Dark is near

And your blinding light

Can you hear me when I cry?

Catch me when I fall

'Cause I can't hold on

Take it away, boys.

Ha, ha.

Oh, I love that.

Now here is the end

Of the matter

Why you should live

A good life

Days dawn in the shadow

Of the darkness

He's gonna bring

To the light

So cherish the gifts

Of your maker

Delight in the wife

Of your youth

Remember God's your creator

Whose help leads

To the truth

Whose help leads

To the truth

So here is the end

Of the matter

While you're searching for

The truth my friend

He carved his mark

In our hearts

But we're never gonna

Comprehend

Just how he caused

The beginning

How he's gonna bring it

All to an end

The only hope that we have

Is the only son

That he did send

Is the only son

That he did send

So at the end of the matter

His will be done, not mine

He breaks the seals

Fulfills the signs

And makes everything

So beautiful

It's all gonna be

So beautiful

In his

Time

Hi, guys.

Hi. Come to see me?

How are you so big?

Let's go.
