The Last Song

(album: Orleans II - 1974)

They say the ocean has its mountains
Thrusting high beneath the tides
But times and water will erase them
Time and tears will heal my pride
Salty water cures the wounded
Everyone knows that it's true

Sometimes I think I could fish out a star
Frozen gem from a midnight pool
But they say a star is space on fire
And these fires burn for you
However cold my heart may seem
Everyone knows that it's true

A circle is unbroken
In the chain the seasons grown
Captives we must die
If we really want the love
That stars and oceans measure

When we stood it looked like ashes
I guess we lost control
Ashes are the final ending
Look for survivors on the glow
Only love can resurrect them
Everyone hopes that it's so
Only love can resurrect them
Everyone hopes that it's so
