M ary wa lks dow n to the water's edge and there she hangs her head to
f ind herself faded a sha dow of what she on ce was. She says
" How long have I b een sleeping and why do I fe el so old why do I feel so cold
My h eart is sa ying one thing but my body won' t let go."
With t rembling h ands she r eaches o ut a s trangers's flesh is of fered
And I would be the last to know I would be the last to let it show
I would b e the l ast to g o.
Take her hand she will lead you through the fire
oh and give you back hope and hope that you won't take too much
respecting what is left she cradled us she held us in her arms
unselfish in her suffering she could not understand that
no one seemed to have the time to cherish cherish what is offered
And I would be the Last to know
And I would be the last To let it show
And I would be the Last to go
