The Last Unicorn

When the last eagle flies
Over the last crumbling mountain
And the last lion roars
At the last dusty fountain
In the shadow of the forest
Though she may be old an worn
They will stare unbelieving
At the Last Unicorn

When the first breath of winter
Through the flowers is icing
And you look to the north
And a pale moon is rising
And it seems like all is dying
And would leave the world to mourn
In the distance hear her laughter
It's the Last Unicorn
I'm alive... I'm alive

When the last moon is cast
Over the last star of morning
And the future is past
Without even a last desparate warning
Then look into the sky where through
The cloudes a path is formed
Look an see her how she sparkles
It's the Last Unicorn
I'm alive... I'm alive

"In the Sea"

In the sea,
The fish have learned to fly
On a moonlit night
On wings of silver
As the enchanted stars
Sail serenely by.

Chorus:
Do they know
Where do unicorns go?
Where winged horses fly?
Narwhals lost at sea
And never seen again.

Go.
Go and ask the magpie
"Where do unicorns go?"

In the trees
The birds have learned to speak
Many colored
They keep their secrets
In a parade of clouds
Playing hide and seek.

Chorus

Does myth
And mystery lie
Where do unicorns go?

Man's Road

Horizon rising up to meet the purple dawn.
Dust demon, screaming, bring an eagle to lead me on.
For in my heart I carry such a heavy load.
Here I am, on Man's Road.
Walking man's road.

I'm hungry, weary, but I cannot lay me down.
The rain comes, dreary, but there's no shelter I have found.
It will be a long time till I find my abode.
Here I am, on Man's Road.
Walking man's road.

Moon rising, disguising lonely steets in gay displays.
The stars fade, the nightshade, closing makes the world afraid.
It waits in silence for the sky to explode.
Here I am, on Man's Road.
Walking man's road.

"Now that I'm a Woman"

Once, I can't remember
I was, long ago, someone strange.
I was innocent and wise,
And full of pain.

Now that I'm a woman
Everything is strange.

Once, when I was searching
Somewhere out of reach,
Far away,
In a place I could not find
Nor heart obey.

Now that I'm a woman
Everything is changed.
Everything is changed.
Everything has changed.
