The Last Unicorn
Music: Jimmy Webb
Lyrics: Jimmy Webb
The Last Unicorn
When the last eagle flies
Over the last crumbling mountain
And the last lion roars
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
When the first breath of winter
Through the flowers is icing
And you look to the north
And the pale moon is rising
And it seems like all is dying
And would leave the world to mourn
In the distance hear the laughter
Of the last unicorn
I'm alive
I'm alive
When the last moon is cast
Over the last star of morning
And the future has passed
Without even a last desperate warning
Then look into the sky where through
The clouds a path is formed
Look and see her how she sparkles
It's the last unicorn
I'm alive
I'm alive

Man's Road
Horizon rising up to meet the purple dawn
Dust demon, screaming, bring an eagle to lead me on
For in my heart I carry such a heavy load
Here I am, on man's road
Walking man's road
Walking man's road
I'm hungry, weary, but I cannot lay me down
The rain comes, dreary
But there's no shelter I have found
It will be a long time till I find my abode
Here I am, on man's road
Walking man's road
Moon rising, disguising lonely streets in gay displays
The stars fade, the nightshade falls and makes the world afraid
It waits in silence for the sky to explode
Here I am on man's road
Walking man's road

In The Sea
In the sea
The fish have learned to fly
On a moonlit night
On wings of silver
As the enchanted stars
Sail serenely by
Do they know
Where do unicorns go?
Where winged horses fly?
Narwhals lost at sea
And never seen again
Go
Go and ask the magpie
Where do unicorns go?
In the trees
The birds have learned to speak
Gaily colored
They keep their secrets
In a parade of clouds
Playing hide and seek
Do they know
Where do unicorns go?
Where winged horses fly?
Narwhals lost at sea
And never seen again
Does myth
And mystery lie
Where the unicorns go?

Now That I'm A Woman
Once, I can't remember
I was, long ago, someone strange
I was innocent and wise
And full of pain
Now that I'm a woman
Everything is strange
Once, when I was searching
Somewhere out of reach
Far away
In a place I could not find
Nor heart obey
Now that I'm a woman
Everything is changed
Everything is changed
Everything has changed

That's All I've Got To Say
LIR:
I've had time to write a book
About the way you act and look
But I haven't got a paragraph
Words are always getting in my way
Anyway, I love you
That's all I have to tell you
That's all I've got to say
And now, I'd like to make a speech about
The love that touches each
But stumbling, I would make you laugh
I feel as though my tongue were made of clay
Anyway, I love you
That's all I have to tell you
I'm not a man of poetry
Music isn't one with me
It runs from me
It runs from me
LIR:
And I tried to write a symphony
But I lost the melody
Alas I only finished
Half
And finish I suppose I never may
Anyway, I love you

AMALTHEA:
Once when I was searching
Somewhere out of reach
Far away
In a place I could not find
Nor heart obey
|
LIR:
That's all I have to tell you
AMALTHEA:
Now that I'm a woman
LIR:
That's all I've got to say
AMALTHEA:
Now I know the way
LIR:
That's all I've got to say
AMALTHEA:
Now I know the way
LIR AND AMALTHEA:
That's all I've got to say
