|
Across the land the air is still |
|
The leaves are falling golden one by one |
|
Like the paper money falls |
|
Or the soldiers stealing homeward |
|
There is only beginning |
|
And there is beginning of the end |
|
All the peoples are moving |
|
Like the waters of a great flood |
|
And everything is beautiful |
|
Because everything is dying |
|
So we went down to the beach |
|
And built a fire to remember |
|
We took the last bottle of wine |
|
And drank a toast to mortality |
|
And we scrawled across the cold wet sand |
|
With our bare feet We Told You So' |
|
And watched the waves steal it away |
|
I caught you smile and I heard you say |
|
Everything is beautiful |
|
Because everything is dying |
|
So who wants to live forever |
|
When these moments will only come the once? |
|
Staring into the embers of the fire... |
|
And everything is beautiful |
|
Only because everything is dying |
