Last Song

Last Song horror, cinematic, sparse piano, eerie ambience, orchestral swells, slow tempo Lyrics Verse 1 Night settling in, breath by breath Your small hand pulls the blanket up tight Past the half-closed door, the silence creeps in I hush you close, not a word tonight (oh la, la la, la) Pre-Chorus You ask what moves in the shadowed hall I smile, pretend there’s nothing at all (la la la) Chorus Close your eyes, I’ll sing you away One last song before the dark can stay Hold on, hold on — just one more day This is the last lullaby I’ll ever play Verse 2 Outside, the storm’s breath against the glass Toys left out, their faces turned aside I hum the tune that always came to pass But the old house knows when I’ve lied (la la, oh la la) Pre-Chorus Heartbeat quick, it won’t let go No need to worry, you’ll never know Chorus Close your eyes, I’ll sing you away One last song before the dark can stay Hold on, hold on — just one more day This is the last lullaby I’ll ever play (la, ohh, la la) Solo piano solo with distant thunder Bridge If I could sweep the dread from your hair Take every fear, leave just air But something old has come to stay And I’m running out of things to say (ohh, ohh, la la la) Chorus Close your eyes, I’ll sing you away One last song before the dark can stay Hold on, hold on — just one more day This is the last lullaby I’ll ever play (end with quiet la la, la la la)
