The Last Ones Will Be The First After All – Dan McCafferty – letras

We’ve been a hundred men and now we are tenOn this rotten boatNinety dreams we’ve buried in the sandNot one of them comes back againAnd all we needed was a piece of landA handful of sand In nowhere-landWe were young we were brave we were boldOur visions come to an endOne thousond days have made us grow oldAnd the wind’s still blowing mighty coldAnd all we needed was a piece of landA handful of sand In nowhere-landAll we needed was a piece of landA handful of sand In nowhere-landAll that’s left is so small so smallBut the last ones will beThe first after allRepriseSo let’s make sail the tide is rightThe winds are blowing strongSay farewell to dreams that diedThe way back home is longNo more headin’ for South AmericaNo more headin’ for an island’cause someone else was there beforeAnd killed the land from shore to shore .And if we don’t hurry, boysWe’ll soon find out the end of the story…
