Tomorrow Is Our Last

Tomorrow is our last, To be free; So let us make it last, You and me Yesterday’s deeds are done Let us go We gave our bravest son Let him go I wish upon this star Every night To meet my avatar Golden light She lifts my gaze skyward Bound to rest; Bitter tears fell downward She carress’d Lest you hear not, my dear (Hold your breath) Chance’s song plays on fear (Long live death) Years end is clearly near -yours to bless Only the young die here -what a mess So this is how it ends? Just tonight! Without love’s amends? Don’t take flight! Pardon that I bother (But you think Talking of your father There’s the link) When all said and done (Here he goes) We do not have to run (He who knows) Apples fall near their tree; Hold me tight! Tender love makes me free Get it right! Shake it off, life makes dust Say again? That’s right mister it must Play again Is that how living works? You might say Behind dream’s nothing lurks? You can pray Listen close little man: Here is how Life’s history began Tell me now East of eden were wo- Men calling To lead away the wo- Men’s falling With serpent’s tooth at bay Arms akimbo The poison had no sway God’s limbo There are no bones to pick Understand? Nor wounds or sores to lick Take my hand Look, it’s a bit like this: End the strife Give each your warmest kiss Long live life
