On the World's Last Night
On the world's last night I want to talk to you
I want to look at your eyes and see the light shine through
I want to hear your voice fall on my ears
I want to feel your hands at the end of my years
My mother told me there's a river to cross
But for all of my life I've been trying to get lost
On the world's last night I want to talk with you
Before our friends and our bodies and the oceans are through
Won't you look at the moon coming up over the hills
Pretend the sun is rising and it always will
There's a Venus in Rome and in the Milky Way
They never mattered less than they do today
I'll leave them out there, I'm staying right here
They could fall into Hell and I wouldn't care
I've traveled the world, I've worn out my feet
I'll put my head on your chest to feel your heart beat.
On the world's last night I want to talk with you
Before our friends and our bodies and the oceans are through
Won't you look at the moon coming up over the hills
Pretend the sun is rising and it always will
What was the name of your very first dog
When did you find out about Santa Claus
What's the last song you heard that made you weep
Can you hear your mother singing you to sleep
Were you scared to death when you heard your father shout
Would you let me say your name as the lights go out
On the world's last night I want to talk with you
Before our friends and our bodies and the oceans are through
Won't you look at the moon coming up over the hills
Pretend the sun is rising and it always will
Pretend the sun is rising and it always will
Pretend the sun is rising and it always will
I want to look at your eyes and see the light shine through
I want to hear your voice fall on my ears
I want to feel your hands at the end of my years
My mother told me there's a river to cross
But for all of my life I've been trying to get lost
On the world's last night I want to talk with you
Before our friends and our bodies and the oceans are through
Won't you look at the moon coming up over the hills
Pretend the sun is rising and it always will
There's a Venus in Rome and in the Milky Way
They never mattered less than they do today
I'll leave them out there, I'm staying right here
They could fall into Hell and I wouldn't care
I've traveled the world, I've worn out my feet
I'll put my head on your chest to feel your heart beat.
On the world's last night I want to talk with you
Before our friends and our bodies and the oceans are through
Won't you look at the moon coming up over the hills
Pretend the sun is rising and it always will
What was the name of your very first dog
When did you find out about Santa Claus
What's the last song you heard that made you weep
Can you hear your mother singing you to sleep
Were you scared to death when you heard your father shout
Would you let me say your name as the lights go out
On the world's last night I want to talk with you
Before our friends and our bodies and the oceans are through
Won't you look at the moon coming up over the hills
Pretend the sun is rising and it always will
Pretend the sun is rising and it always will
Pretend the sun is rising and it always will
