To the Last Whale

Over the years you have been hunted By the men who throw harpoons And in the long run we will kill you Just to feed the pets we raise, Put the flowers in your vase And make the lipsticks for your face. Over the years you swam the ocean Following feelings of your own Now you are washed up on the shoreline I can see your body lie It's a shame you have to die To put a shadow on our eyes. Maybe we'll go, Maybe we'll disappear It's not that we don't know, It's just that we don't want to care. Under the bridge Over the foam Wind on the water, Carry me home. Over the years you swam the ocean Following feelings of your own Now you are washed up on the shoreline I can see your body lie It's a shame you have to die To put a shadow on our eyes. Under the bridge Over the foam Wind on the water, Carry me home.
