Lyrics
Shortly Before The End
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
How long did we all think this all would last?
Who could have counted days as they flew past?
But before we go, sing us a song.
Sing us a song to hum through the hours of dying.
Who would have though it'd come as such a show?
A pink and silver day... who was to know?
Even as we go, sing us a song.
Sing us a song, to hum through the hours of dying.
