okkervil river – lay of the last survivor lyrics
she went out
and found
her father face down on the ground
out in the cold
walked her way ’round
a hill where the sun’s sinking down
into the snow
oh, white caps of the waves slap
like last hand claps
and the dark
water dies in the crash
[and] is sucked back with a moan
smoke on the coast
and old, piled fathers
soft-sighing daughters
where does it go
it’s a dream now
i’ll describe
let your mind drift on down
like so
to when the world was young
big sky
blue with a dead
bachelor’s tongue
blood-red bloom on the rose
so, some line someone told
says, “even light can get old”
oh, slobbering lovers
drink-clinking brothers
they don’t have to tell us
’cause we know
so, i said
“what a way down
what a ride
what a slide
spin around
what a life to have known
what a time”
and how
i was singing out in a crowd
of a thousand of the most frightening faces i’ve known
when the lighthouse
lending a sight, finally went out
what a fright we felt in that night
friends, just shout it all out
all the ‘why’s and ‘no-no’s
all the cries in your throat
how right
we felt
with our hands tightly closed
around something we broke
and then our whimpering sisters
sobbing well-wishers
well, it’s over
just let my hand go
