The Last Word
-The Nadas

Verse-  (Em G x3) D C
Chorus- C G D

On a distant island, from a special place
Looking down on us with a smiling face
Strong as a pillar, mighty as the waves
Crashing down erase our tracks away

She can see all from her secret garden
She still visits that special place
She has recieved a lifetime pardon from her pain

Whispered in the hallway crying tears of shame
Suddenly your daughter's whisked away
Learning by the hard way, shouldering your pain
You promised I would not end up that way

A firey star that is now departed
A fire burning yellow in my base
The story ends the author long since started
Not erased she used to say

No no no no
Please don't go away
Your always moving take the time to stay
My finest hour is a day away
I can say

Your mind's clear and easy but your bodies gone away
You still knew us on that special day
You taught us when to vanish, but you told us when to stay
I saw the years of wisdom on your face

I will see you on the road to heaven
I will know you by your easy way
Harmony sung in clear perfection
You will say, you used to say

No no no no
Please don't go away
Your always moving take the time to stay
My finest hour is a day away
I can say
No no no no
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
No no no
no no
