lyrics

VERSES ONE & TWO:
We thought we could raise the alarm
but there were always other fires.
And the children don't know, the children do not know.

We thought we could shout the story
but the silence grew / it grew and grew
And the creatures don't know, the creatures do not know.
Who will tell the creatures?

CHORUS:
It's the end of the world.
It's the end of the world.
Only so many beautiful days on earth!

VERSE THREE:
We thought there might be more magic
but we sold off our most ancient power.
And the spirits don't know, the spirits do not know.
Who will tell the spirits?

REPEAT CHORUS

BRIDGE:
Your trees are gone.
Your fish are dead.
Your sky it moves over no one's head
Oh clouds, lonely clouds, only sand falls down on empty ground. [x2]

FINAL VERSE:
Who will tell the children?
Who will tell the creatures?
Who will tell the spirits?
Only so many beautiful days
Only so many beautiful days
Only so many beautiful days
on earth!

CHORUS [2X]

FINAL CHORUS:
It's the end of the world.
It's the end of the world.
only so many beautiful days…
