When the last eagle flies
Over the last crumbling mountain
And the last lion roars
At the last dusty fountain
In the shadow of the forest
Though she may be old and worn
They will stare, unbelieving
At the Last Unicorn.
When the first breath of winter
Through the flowers is icing
And you look to the north
And the pale moon is rising
When it seems that all is dying
And would leave the world to mourn
In the distance, hear the laughter
Of the Last Unicorn
I'm Alive
I'm Alive
When the last moon is cast
Over the last star of morning
And the future has passed
Without even a last desperate warning
Then look into the skies where through
The clouds a path is formed
Look and see her, how she sparkles
It's the Last Unicorn
I'm Alive
I'm Alive
Horizon, rising
up to meet the purple dawn
Dust demon, screaming
bring an eagle to lead me on
For in my heart I carry such a heavy load
Here I am, on man's road
Walking man's road
I'm Hungry, weary
but I can not lay me down
The rain comes, dreary
but there's no shelter I have found
It will will be a long time till I find my abode
Here I am, on man's road
Walking man's road
Moon rising, disguising
lonely streets in gay display
The stars fade, the nightshade
closing makes the world afraid
It waits in silence for the sky to explode
Here I am, on man's road
Walking man's road
In the sea,
The fish have learned to fly
On a moonlit night
On wings of silver
As the enchanted stars
Sail serenely by.
Do they know
Where do unicorns go?
Where winged horses fly?
Narwhals lost at sea
And never seen again.
Go.
Go and ask the magpie
"Where do unicorns go?"
In the trees
The birds have learned to speak
Many colored
They keep their secrets
In a parade of clouds
Playing hide and seek.
Do they know
Where do unicorns go?
Where winged horses fly?
Narwhals lost at sea
And never seen again.
Does myth
And mystery lie
Where the unicorns go?
Once, I can't remember
I was, long ago, someone strange.
I was innocent and wise,
And full of pain.
Now that I'm a woman
Everything is strange.
Once, when I was searching
Somewhere out of reach,
Far away,
In a place I could not find
Nor heart obey.
Now that I'm a woman
Everything is changed.
Everything is changed.
Everything has changed.
Lir: I've had time to write a book About the way you act and look, But I haven't got a paragraph. Words are always getting in my way. Anyway, I love you. That's all I have to tell you. That's all I've got to say.
And now, I'd like to make a speech About the love that touches each, But stumbling, I would make you laugh. I feel as though my tongue were made of clay. Anyway, I love you. That's all I have to tell you.
I'm not a man of poetry. Music isn't one with me. It runs from me. It runs from me.
(duet)
Lir: And I tried to write a symphony
Amalthea: Once when I was searching
Lir: But I lost the melody
Amalthea: Somewhere out of reach
Lir: Alas I only finished half
Amalthea: Far away
Lir: And finish I suppose I never may
Amalthea: In a place I could not find
Lir: Anyway, I love you
Amalthea: Nor heart obey
Lir: That's all I have to tell you
Amalthea: Now that I'm a woman
Lir: That's all I've got to say
Amalthea: Now I know they way
Lir: That's all I've got to say
Amalthea: Now I know they way
together: That's all I've got to say
