Anuna: One Last Song (Michael McGlynn)

One Last Song

Sing me one last song that will carry me away
To the warm summer memory of home;
And that old melody softly echoes on the breeze,
To a pathway that I must walk alone.
I have loved, I have lain on the dewy morning fields
With a cloud of apple blossom in the air.

So lay me down.
I'm weary of the cries and distant drums.
One last farewell.
The time for endless sleep will come.

Sing me one last song as the evening shadows fall
From the gold chariot reaching from the west.
Raise up one last glass, as I hear the boatman call
And an old song will carry me to rest.
I have loved, I have lain on the dewy morning fields
With a cloud of apple blossom in the air.

So lay me down.
I'm weary of the cries and distant drums.
One last farewell.
The time for endless sleep has come.

Words and music by Michael McGlynn.
