On the last night
We will all fall asleep

Night will come to the West and East
At the end of the world

Is a forest of snow
And two lovebirds
One is singing
He says...

"My love,
The stars grace your eyes..."

He says I brought a little whiskey and some name-brand smoke
A boombox and a tape of Yo La Tengo

They smile as they slow-dance eye to eye
And when they finally wake up
The fire has died

And they lie
Together in
A bed of snow

In never-ending still
Of the night

Oh, oh my love
I cannot keep myself awake, I'm afraid
Well, my darling,
I will keep you safe
And we shall rest in peace
We shall rest in peace
Rest in peace
