Lay Of The Last Survivor

Instrumental Verse 5 It's a dream, now I'll describe Let your mind drift on down, like so Verse 6 To when the world was young A big sky, blue of a dead bachelor's tongue A new bloom on the rose Interlude So some line someone told says Even light can get old Verse 7 Oh, slobbering lovers Drink-clinking brothers x3 They don't have to tell us, 'cause we know Instrumental Verse 8 What a way down What a ride, what a slide spin-around What a life to have known Verse 9 What a time And how I was singing out in a crowd Of the thousand most frightening faces I've known verse 10 And when the lighthouse Lending us sight finally went out What a fright we felt In that night verse 11 Friends just shout it out All the whys and don't knows All the cries in our throats And how right we felt verse 12 With our eyes tightly closed Holding something we broke And then whimpering sisters Sobbing well-wishers It's over Outro Just let my hand go
