If This Is the End… - Sarah McLachlan

One by some we gather

Under the radiant sky

To soak up what's left of the wonder

To drink till the rivers run dry

So hush now don't you cry my love

What more is there left to say?

Let me hold you closer

Give in to the debts we must pay

Shine on my dear heart though life is derailing

Surrender is our only guide

So let's drink to the sky that will carry on after

The bittersweet taste of demise

For all we are losing for all the same answer

It comes on unstoppable tides

So here's to the sky

We pour our best wine into paper cups

Taste almonds and earthy decay

We toast to the sadness of reckoning

That there will be no better days

Shine on my brave heart though life is derailing

Surrender is our only guide

And we drink to the sky that will carry on after

The bittersweet taste of demise

For all we are losing for all the same answer

It comes on unstoppable tides

So let's drink to the Earth who will bury our apathy

Swallow us sinew and bone

All of our treasures we savoured and suffered

And lost at the end of the road

So here's to the sky

We lay ourselves out on our blankets

And bury our toes in the sand

We'll go out alone as we entered

Please don't let go of my hand

And we drink to the sky that will carry on after

The bittersweet taste of demise

For all we are losing for all the same answer

It comes as no real surprise

So we drink to the Earth that will bury our apathy

Swallow us sinew and bone

All of our colours our joys and our sorrows

So small at the end of the road

So let's drink to the Earth that will wear a new tapestry

Rainbows of sinew and bone

All of our struggles our ego and avarice

Fall at the end of the road

Here's to the sky
