Come gradually to an end (5,3)

I believe the answer is:

peter out

(Other definitions for peter out that I've seen before include "Decrease gradually before ending" , "End gradually" , "True poet (anag) - come to nothing" , "Diminish feebly" , "Dwindle away to nothing" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
