The sound of afternoon is gone
  The corner store has locked its door
  And everyone has left for home
  When their sleepy little heads
  	settle snug inside their beds
  You and I will stay and watch the sun fade away

  The balladeer, the buccaneer
  The liar, the man who would be king
  The cavalier, the profiteer
  The one who knows only suffering
  As the cannons gather rust,
  	all their castles turn to dust
  You and I will stay and see them fade away

  We are on an endless flight my friend
  With no beginning and no end
  I've forgotten more than I remember
  Sometimes I want to hide myself away
  But I know there's no escape
  We must go on, go on forever
  The sea will rise, mountains fall
  The earth will turn itself upside down
  But we have seen it all before,
  	we will always be around
  In a hundred million years
  	when the planet disappears
  You and I will stay
  	and watch the world fade away
  And in a million trillion years
  	when the stars all disappear
  You and I will stay
  	and watch it all fade away
