One by some, we gather Under the radiant sky To soak up what's left of the wonder To drink till the rivers run dry So, hush now, don't you cry, my love What more is there left to say? Let me hold you closer Give in to the debts we must pay Shine on, my dear heart, though life is derailing Surrender is our only guide So let's drink to the sky that will carry on after The bittersweet taste of demise For all we are losing, for all the same answer It comes on unstoppable tides So, here's to the sky We pour our best wine into paper cups Taste almonds and earthy decay We toast to the sadness of reckoning That there will be no better days Shine on my brave heart, though life is derailing Surrender is our only guide And we drink to the sky that will carry on after The bittersweet taste of demise For all we are losing, for all the same answer It comes on unstoppable tides So, let's drink to the earth who will bury our apathy Swallow us, sinew and bone All of our treasures we savoured and suffered And lost at the end of the road So, here's to the sky We lay ourselves out on our blankets And bury our toes in the sand We'll go out alone as we entered Please don't let go of my hand And we drink to the sky that will carry on after The bittersweet taste of demise For all we are losing, for all the same answer It comes as no real surprise So, we drink to the earth that will bury our apathy Swallow us, sinew and bone All of our colours, our joys and our sorrows So, small at the end of the road So, let's drink to the earth that will wear a new tapestry Rainbows of sinew and bone All of our struggles, our ego and avarice Fall at the end of the road Here's to the sky
