Dan Mccafferty The Last Ones Will Be The First After All Lyrics

The Last Ones Will Be The First After All Lyrics

We`ve been a hundred men and now we are ten 
On this rotten boat 
Ninety dreams we`ve buried in the sand 
Not one of them comes back again 
And all we needed was a piece of land 
A handful of sand In nowhere-land

We were young we were brave we were bold 
Our visions come to an end 
One thousond days have made us grow old 
And the wind`s still blowing mighty cold 
And all we needed was a piece of land 
A handful of sand In nowhere-land

All we needed was a piece of land 
A handful of sand In nowhere-land 
All that`s left is so small so small 
But the last ones will be 
The first after all

Reprise

So let`s make sail the tide is right 
The winds are blowing strong 
Say farewell to dreams that died 
The way back home is long 
No more headin` for South America 
No more headin` for an island 
`cause someone else was there before 
And killed the land from shore to shore .

And if we don`t hurry, boys
We`ll soon find out the end of the story...
