Darling, you’ve won; it’s no fun Martinis, girls, and guns It’s murder on our love affair But you bet your life, every night While you’re chasing the morning light You’re not the only spy out there It’s so deadly, my dear The power of wanting you near Until the day Until the world falls away Until you say there’ll be no more goodbyes I see it in your eyes Tomorrow never dies ---

Breathe deep the gathering gloom, Watch lights fade from every room. Bedsitter people look back and lament, Another day’s useless energy spent. Impassioned lovers wrestle as one. Lonely man cries for love and has none. New mother picks up and suckles her son. Senior citizens wish they were young. ---

When the white eagle of the north is flying overhead And the browns, reds and golds of autumn lie in the gutter, dead Remember then the summer birds with wings of fire flaying Come to witness spring’s new hope, born of leaves decaying As new life will come from death, love will come with leisure Love of love, love of life and giving without measure Gives in return a wondrous yearn of a promise almost seen. Live hand-in-hand and together we’ll stand On the threshold of a dream ---

When the last eagle flies over the last crumbling mountain And the last lion roads 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 [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/i-ve-seen-fire-and-i-ve-seen-rain-3/1020396.md?page=32) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/i-ve-seen-fire-and-i-ve-seen-rain-3/1020396.md?page=34)
