Bruce Cockburn Last Night Of The World Lyrics

Last Night Of The World Lyrics

I'm sipping Flor De Caa* and lime juice, it's three a.m.

Blow a fruit fly
off the rim of my glass

The radio's playing Superchunk and the friends of
Dean Martinez 



Midnight it was bike tires whacking the pot holes

Milling humans' shivering energy glow

Fusing the space between them
with bar-throb bass and laughter 



If this were the last night of
the world

What would I do?

What would I do that was different

Unless it was champagne with you? 



I learned as a child not to
trust in my body

I've carried that burden through my life

But
there's a day when we all have to be pried loose 



If this were the
last night of the world

What would I do?

What would I do that was
different

Unless it was champagne with you? 



I've seen the
flame of hope among the hopeless

And that was truly the biggest
heartbreak of all

That was the straw that broke me open 



If
this were the last night of the world

What would I do?

What would I
do that was different

Unless it was champagne with you?
