You had me at, "Of All the gin joints in all the towns in all the world..." Kind of a tribute to the movies.
The ending evokes in me the wrenching from dreamcraft to lifecast when the final credits roll.

The story of everyone's life.
I tried again, after I learned it a bit better.
I took my love, I took it down
Climbed a mountain and I turned around
And I saw my reflection in the snow covered hills
