Beyond the End

Beyond The End
By: Jimmy Buffett, Marshall Chapman, Will Jennings
1985
"We are a long way from anything," I told him. "Up ahead turn left and
we're fifteen or twenty minutes from Cancun. Turn right and you've
got a batch of sixty miles of nothing. So who are we seeing,
where is he and how do we get in touch."
- Travis McGee from THE LONELY SILVER RAIN
Mayan moon was burnin'
We saw visions
Of the past returnin'
On the shore
The band was playin'
We all heard
What the moon was sayin'

The world keeps closin' in
It has before
It will again
A voice beyond the wind
Says we must go
Beyond the end
So follow
Beyond the end

A sea of friends are singin'
Vaya con dios [Go with God]
Mis amigos [My friends]
We take their hopes and feelin's
To some new world
We'll be revealin'

Old worlds keep closin' in
They have before
They will again
Voices call
Beyond the wind
Say we must go
Beyond the end
And follow
Beyond the end

(guitar break)

Old worlds keep closin' in
They have before
They will again
Voices call
Beyond the wind
Say we must go
Beyond the end

Old worlds (old worlds) keep closin' in (keep closin' in)
They have before (they have before)
They will again
Voices call (voices call)
Beyond the wind
Say we must go (say we must go)
Beyond the end (beyond the end)
And follow
Beyond the end

Old worlds (old worlds) keep closin' in (keep closin' in)
They have before
They will again (oh they will again)
Voices call (voices call)
Beyond the wind (beyond the wind)
Say we must go (say-eeee...)
Beyond the end

Old worlds (old worlds) keep closin' in (keep closin' in) (=Roy Orbison)
They have before (they have before)
They will again (they will again)
Voices call (voices call)
Beyond the wind (beyond the wind)
Say we must go (say we must go)
Beyond the end (beyond the end...)

Old worlds keep closin' in (keep closin' in)
They have before (they have before)
They will again (they will again)
Voices call (voices call)
Beyond the wind (beyond the wind)
Say we must go (say we must go)
Beyond the end ...
