Last Light

Night comes in and takes our light As we turn once again in the sun We don't have to drift out of sight But shadows will fall and run Yeah, they'll run, they will run, they will run As the day in time will be done In the end there will be perfect endlessness When we're gone, when we're gone, when we're gone Green turns gold and the gold turns green As we turn one more time past the sun Light like no one else has seen As the shadows will shift to none Yeah, they'll run, they will run, they will run As the day's last light soon is done In the end there will be only endlessness When we're gone, when we're gone, when we're gone Your boat tipped straight upright You thought that sleep was dyin' You thought it was your time To give into the endless night No, you were not right And I said, "No it's not, there really is enough It might just be too much in a couple of weeks Twenty hours or in ten minutes" Sky hangs heavy in the lowest light As the day slips down past the sun Black and blue in the forest green Shadows are gone, they have run They've run, they have run, they have run As the days last light now is done In the end we can see perfect endlessness When we're gone, when we're gone, when we're gone Your boat tipped straight upright You thought that sleep was dyin' You thought it was your time To give into the endless night No, you were not right And I said, "No it's not, there really is enough It might just be too much in a couple of weeks Twenty hours or in ten minutes" I can feel your hand let go of mine Drift you to where there isn't any light And I can never sleep enough, that's right Something makes me nervous 'bout the night Something makes me nervous 'bout the night Something makes me nervous 'bout the night --- Last Light - Matt Pond PA
