Lyrics

Shortly Before the End

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 thought
It'd come as such a show?
A pink and silver day
Who was to know?

But even as we go
Sing us a song, sing us a song
To hum through the hours of dying
Sing us a song, sing us a song
To hum through the hours of dying

But even as we go
Sing us a song, sing us a song
To hum through the hours of dying
Sing us a song, sing us a song
To hum through the hours of dying
Sing us a song, sing us a song
To hum through the hours of dying
Sing us a song, sing us a song
To hum through the hours of dying
