One by some we gather
Under the radiant sky
Soak up what's left of the wonder
Drink till the rivers run dry
So
hush now, don't you cry my love
One more is there left to say
Let me hold you closer
Given to the debts we must pay
Shine on my dear heart,
though life is derailing Surrender is our only guide
So let's drink to the sky We'll carry
on after
The bittersweet taste of demise And for all we are losing
For all the same answer It comes on unstoppable tides
So here's to the sky Pour up best wine into paper cups
Taste almonds and earthy decay
Toast to the sadness of reckoning
That there will be no better days
Shine on my brave heart,
though life is derailing
Surrender is our only guide
Then we drink to the sky
We'll carry on after The bittersweet taste of demise
For all we are
losing For all the same answer
It comes on unstoppable tides So let's drink to the earth
We'll bury our
apathy Swallow us in human bond
For all of our treasures We've savoured and suffered
Lost at the end of the road
So here's to the sky
Lay ourselves out on our blankets
Bury our toes in the sand
Go out alone as we enter
Please don't let go of my hand
Then we drink to the sky We'll carry on after
The bittersweet taste of demise For all we are losing
For all the same answer
It comes as no real surprise
So we drink to the earth Bury our apathy
Swallow us in human bond
For all of our
colours Our joys and our sorrows So small at the end of the road
So let's drink to the earth
Wearing the new tapestry
Rainbows and new moon For all of our struggles
Our ego and avarice For all at the end of the road
So let's drink to the sky
