The Last One I Love

I woke up with a weakness

And she held me when she needed

But with arms like gusts of wind

Although forceful, they're still fleeting

I might as well be deaf

If it's just air that is passing off your lips

But if there's meaning to your breath

Then we're not dead, just sleeping

And if we awaken

Then when we're aged

And in the one we've become

Then when my air stills

And I am taken

You'll be the last one I love

Forethought floats off from my head

Like smoke from a burning building

Into the wind you can't collect

It needn't go far to be gone

Oh, to keep me in your head

And to be a thought amongst the rest of yours

And hold your memory out of bed

For she's too content to dream it

But if we wake her

Then when we're aged

And in the one we've become

Then when my air stills

And I am taken

You'll be the last one I love

May I be never able to say my love for you is cold

May a wind reaching out of you say that sleep has all control

But if we awaken

Then when we're aged

And in the one we've become

Then when my air stills

And I am taken

You'll be the last one I love
