Apocalypse Song Lyrics

APOCALYPSE SONG

For one brief moment in our anguish

As the surf trapped the sand between our toes

And for one sweet instant in our silence

As the breeze breathed a passion in our souls

Time held us momentary but living

And we sang hand in hand beside the sea

For in that one brief moment in our anguish

We were perfect

I'll love you while the waves while the waves

While the waves wash over us

I'll love you as the tide as the tide rolls in

I'll love you when the sea when the sea

When the sea encircles us

I'll love you as the breeze as the breeze blows in

But I won't pretend that it's an easy journey

I won't pretend that it's a ride

I'll love you while the waves while the waves

While the waves wash over us

I'll love you as the surf traps the sand between our toes

I'll love you when the wind when the wind

When the soft wind wafts on us

The fragrance and the scent of the sweet olive groves

But I won't pretend that it's a stroll at daybreak

I won't pretend that it's a stride

I'll love you when the clouds when the clouds

When the storm clouds gather

I'll love you while it thunders while it thunders above

I'll love you when the rivers when the rivers

When the rivers are swollen

I'll love you though the fields though the fields are in flood

I didn't promise you a gilded pathway

I didn't promise you a glide

I'll love you when the cliffs when the cliffs

When the cliff tops crumble

I'll love you as the waves as the waves crash in

I'll love you when the mountains when the mountains

When the mountains tumble

I'll love you as the valleys as the valleys cave in

I didn't promise you a garden party

I didn't promise a good time

I didn't promise you a summer picnic

I only said that you'd be mine

And I'll love you while the world while the world

While the world keeps turning

I'll love you when the earth when the earth's alight

I'll love you while the trees while the trees

While the trees are burning

I'll love you though the sky though the sky's on fire

I didn't say we'd have a dance at midnight

I didn't say we'd have a jive

I still believe that we can come through this though

I'm confident that we can thrive

I still believe that we can run from this

I think we'll still get out alive

I don't accept that it's a fait accompli

There must be some place we can hide
