The Eastern Plain
My Last Song
You’re up in the sky
I’ll carry you home
Home to the mountaineers
And soon my friend
You’ll see them again
The ones you left behind
The ones you left behind
And I’ll sing for you all the way home
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
But why does it feel
Like home isn’t home?
I’ve been in this war too long
It’s in the air that I breathe
Oh it’s in the trees
It shivers down my spine
It shivers down my spine
I just sing my song as I walk through the gate
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
And there she stands
Just like before
But she doesn’t look the same
The fear in her eyes
I’ve seen it before
And she can’t recall my name
No she can’t recall my name
And so I sing to her, as I fall
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
A shimmering light
As I hit the ground
Her lover had a gun
Now it’s you that I see
Home of the brave
Oh how you bother me
Oh the things you let me see
But still I sing for you
My last song
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Oh my last song
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Oh I’ll sing for you
My last song
