At Last



At Last 

The ground is gone,
So why look down?
We wither away,
But why do we frown?

This is the end.
So why don't we sing?
Music is life,
But it's life that we cling.

The world is fading,
We're fading fast.
I see it in your eyes, 
It's over at last.

But why do you cry,
As if we failed?
Come to the boat,
Together we'll sail.

Tonight we die,
So get up and dance.
Pick up your music,
This is our last chance.

Then sit down beside me,
Under the stars.
We'll raise up our coffee,
For the horizon's not far.



I think I'm quite ready for another adventure
