Beyond The End 

By: Jimmy Buffett, Marshall Chapman, Will Jennings 

1985 

"We are a long way from anything," I told him. "Up ahead turn left and 

we're fifteen or twenty minutes from Cancun. Turn right and you've 

got a batch of sixty miles of nothing. So who are we seeing, 

where is he and how do we get in touch." 

- Travis McGee from THE LONELY SILVER RAIN 

Mayan moon was burnin' 

We saw visions 

Of the past returnin' 

On the shore 

The band was playin' 

We all heard 

What the moon was sayin' 



The world keeps closin' in 

It has before 

It will again 

A voice beyond the wind 

Says we must go 

Beyond the end 

So follow 

Beyond the end 



A sea of friends are singin' 

Vaya con dios [Go with God] 

Mis amigos [My friends] 

We take their hopes and feelin's 

To some new world 

We'll be revealin' 



Old worlds keep closin' in 

They have before 

They will again 

Voices call 

Beyond the wind 

Say we must go 

Beyond the end 

And follow 

Beyond the end 



(guitar break) 



Old worlds keep closin' in 

They have before 

They will again 

Voices call 

Beyond the wind 

Say we must go 

Beyond the end 



Old worlds (old worlds) keep closin' in (keep closin' in) 

They have before (they have before) 

They will again 

Voices call (voices call) 

Beyond the wind 

Say we must go (say we must go) 

Beyond the end (beyond the end) 

And follow 

Beyond the end 



Old worlds (old worlds) keep closin' in (keep closin' in) 

They have before 

They will again (oh they will again) 

Voices call (voices call) 

Beyond the wind (beyond the wind) 

Say we must go (say-eeee...) 

Beyond the end 



Old worlds (old worlds) keep closin' in (keep closin' in) (=Roy Orbison) 

They have before (they have before) 

They will again (they will again) 

Voices call (voices call) 

Beyond the wind (beyond the wind) 

Say we must go (say we must go) 

Beyond the end (beyond the end...) 



Old worlds keep closin' in (keep closin' in) 

They have before (they have before) 

They will again (they will again) 

Voices call (voices call) 

Beyond the wind (beyond the wind) 

Say we must go (say we must go) 

Beyond the end ...
