[I wrote this a few years ago, basing it liberally on The Last Unicorn. It is sung to the tune of the movie's theme song. I only wish I could sing it for you all, because that melody holds such a special place inside me...]

The Last Song

When the last moon has risen
Over the last scarlet stream
And the last tear has fallen
From the last silent dream
Then a loud cry will ring out:
I am alone. I need hands to hold me,
I'm only flesh and bone!

But I'm alive...
Yet alive...

When the last spark had faded
From the last loving smile
And a bride has wept for hours
With no one to walk down the aisle,
Then a whisper will be murmured:
I am alone. I need hands to hold me,
I'm only flesh and bone.

I'm alive...
Still alive...
