Okkervil River - Lay of the Last Survivor[00:00:02]
She went out and found her father[00:00:09]
Face down on the ground[00:00:15]
Out in the cold.[00:00:18]
Walked her way around a hill[00:00:22]
With the sun sinking[00:00:28]
Down into the snow.[00:00:29]
All the whitecaps of the waves[00:00:33]
Slap like last hand-claps,[00:00:40]
And the dark water dies in a crash,[00:00:46]
Is sucked back with a moan.[00:00:54]
The smoke on the coast[00:00:58]
Oh, piled fathers,[00:01:02]
Soft, sighing daughters,[00:01:07]
Where does it go?[00:01:11]
It's a dream, now, I'll describe[00:01:20]
Let your mind drift on down, like so,[00:01:26]
To when the world was young.[00:01:33]
A big sky, blue of a dead bachelor's tongue.[00:01:37]
A new bloom on the rose.[00:01:41]
So some line someone told says[00:01:44]
Even light can get old.[00:01:48]
Oh, slobbering lovers,[00:01:51]
Drink-clinking brothers,[00:01:55]
They don't have to tell us, because we know.[00:01:59]
What a way down.[00:02:17]
What a ride.[00:02:22]
What a slide spin-around.[00:02:23]
What a life to have known.[00:02:25]
What a time, and how I was singing out[00:02:31]
In a crowd of the thousand[00:02:36]
Most frightening faces I've known[00:02:39]
When the lighthouse[00:02:43]
Lending us sight finally went out,[00:02:47]
What a fright we felt[00:02:52]
In that night, friends[00:02:56]
Just shout it out,[00:03:00]
All the whys and don't knows,[00:03:04]
All the cries in our throats,[00:03:08]
And how right we felt,[00:03:13]
With our eyes tightly closed,[00:03:21]
Holding something we broke[00:03:25]
And then, whimpering sisters,[00:03:29]
Sobbing well wishers,[00:03:34]
Well it's over.[00:03:37]
Just let my hand go.[00:03:40]
