Intro:
You and I did sprout like a planted love,
So deep in the ground that it grows on forever,
So that everyone can feel it.
And then bugs will come to fill up on our sweet blood,
To chew off the bark that shields us,
But we ll keep on growing towards the sun.
Nothing on this world could ever break us apart,
All in heaven are going to cry when they can t figure out why
A fragile world with numbered days,
Here in the sun we dance we sway.
And when they finally kill the lights,
You get the glass I ll pour the wine,
On the last day that we ever close our eyes.
Instrumental Break (same as intro):
Then what s it going to take away the bend that leads to a break
For centuries we burned at the stake,
But they won t see our ashes falling anytime soon.
No, I ve seen through the end,
I ve seen your hand holding my hand,
As we watch the clouds gather from every corner of the Earth,
But we are smiling.
And we know that we have given this world everything that we can.
And a cold north wind is gonna blow on that day,
It s gonna bury us in snow that will never melt away.
All the stars in the sky are going to flicker once and die,
On the last day that we ever close our eyes.
I said a cold north wind is gonna blow on that day,
It s gonna bury us in snow that will never melt away.
All the stars in the sky are going to flicker once and die,
On the last day that we ever close our eyes.
(Strum once)
On the last day that we ever close our eyes______.
