lyrics

The Last Day
------------------
There's a young man, falling in love for the first time
Little Mayflower floating his heart on an open sea,
Sees the detail in everything he can,
Finds his way through the differences,
That change the child to the man.

Don't you take this from me,
Don't you take this all away from me,
Don't you take this from me,
Don't you take this all away from me.

There's a young girl, head in the skies of the words she reads,
A future as wide and open as a summer's breeze,
With every sunrise another lap of faith,
A heart of life and letters and the sweetest touch of grace.

Don't you take this from me,
Don't you take this all away from me,
Don't you take this from me,
Don't you take this all away from me.

Forgotten notes, I'm not sure what they mean,
These sepia ghosts from the belly of a private dream,
I don't recall,
What it was you sang,
Wondering what the secret is,
That makes a child of a man.

But my eyes dim and the lines spread away,
And I breathe in the remains of the day.
But my eyes dim and the lines spread away,
And I breathe in the remains of the day.

Don't you take this from me,
Don't you take this all away from me,
Don't you take this from me,
Don't you take this all away from me.
