The Last Day

(albüm: A Golden State - 2019)

On the last day of my life
I wonder what I will be like
Will I be blue?
Held up with glue?
Will I be strong and able?

Will I waken all right then?
My final day had just begun
I hope you're there
With bed-made hair
And a body I can cradle

And in the morning we take a walk
Through every street and every park
I hope it's deep
In autumn time
And the leaves are like fires raging

I think I would love the simple things
Like holding hands and noticing
The way the wind moves
In between
And I never saw you ageing

The afternoon would come so soon
Will there be time for a movie too?
I hope there's one
About true love
About how it hurts sometimes

As it fades to black and the credits roll
Think I'd start to lose control
And all those names
Flash before my face
Did I thank them all in time?

In early eve you'd start to grieve
And all your doubts and unbelief
Would shatter there
And you'd throw up prayers
To keep me from my curse

But I'd hold you close and you'd pray and pray
Whisper "everything is going to be okay"
Our final kiss
Would bring such bliss
And feel just like our first

On the last night of my life
Think I'd rather be surprised
Now every night
When I close my eyes
I hold your hand so tight
