The Last Day We Ever Close Our Eyes

You and I did sprout like a planted love

So deep in the ground that it grows on forever

So that everyone can feel it

And then bugs will come to fill up on our sweet blood

To chew off the bark that shields us

But we'll keep on growing towards the sun

And nothing on this world could ever break us apart

All in heaven are going to cry

When they can't figure out why

A fragile world with numbered days

Here in the sun we dance, we sway

And when they finally kill the lights

You get the glass, I'll pour the wine

On the last day that we ever close our eyes

And what's it going to take

To wake the bend that leads to a break?

For centuries we burn at the stake

But they won't see our ashes falling anytime soon

No, I've seen through the end

I've seen your hand holding my hand

As we watch the clouds gather from

Every corner of the earth, but we are smiling

And we know that we have given this world

Everything that we can

And a cold north wind is gonna blow on that day

It's gonna bury us in snow that will never melt away

All the stars in the sky are going to flicker once and die

On the last day that we ever close our eyes

I said a cold north wind is gonna blow on that day

It's gonna bury us in snow that will never melt away

All the stars in the sky are going to flicker once and die

On the last day that we ever close our eyes
