Das Letzte Einhorn

Songs & Lyrics

If you've heard the soundtrack that plays companion to the movie, you know how really great it is. For those of you that don't, I must state that it's probably one of my favourite CD's (perfect to listen to while writing). Unfortunately, there were some problems with the record label, and because of this, it's only available in Germany (lovely country!). For those of us that don't live in Germany, we can buy it online at places like Amazon.com, which is where I got my copy.

Lyrics

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 and worn
they will stare unbelieving
at the Last Unicorn

I’m alive, I’m alive

When the first breath of winter
through the flowers is icing
and you look to the north
and the pale moon is rising
and it seems like all is dying
and would leave the world to mourn
in the distance hear the laughter
of the Last Unicorn

I’m alive, I’m alive

When the last moon is cast
over the last star of morning
and the future has passed
without even a last desperate warning
then look into the sky where through
the clouds a path is formed
Look and see her how she sparkles
it's the Last Unicorn

I’m alive, I’m alive
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
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 ‘til I find my abode

Here I am on man’s road
Walking man’s road
Walking man’s road

Moon Rising
Disguising
Lonely streets in gay display
The stars fade
The night shade
All that makes the world afraid
It waits in silence for the sky to explode

Here I am on man’s road
Walking man’s road
Walking man’s road
Walking man’s road
In the Sea

In the sea
The fish have learned to fly
on a moon lit night
on wings of silver
as the enchanted stars
Sail serenely by

Do they know
Where do Unicorns go?
Where do 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
every color
they keep their secret
In a parade of clouds
Playing hide and seek

Do they know
Where do Unicorns go?
Where do winged horses fly?
Narwhals lost at sea
And never seen again

Does myth
and mystery lie
where the unicorns go?
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
or heart obey
Now that I’m a woman
Everything has changed
Everything has changed
Everything has changed
That's All I've Got To Say

Lir:
I’ve had time to write a book about
the way you act and look
But I haven’t got a paragraph
Words are always getting in my way
Anyway, I love you

That’s all I have to tell you
That’s all I have to say

And now, I’d like to make a speech about
the loves that touches each
But stumbling I would make you laugh
I feel as though my tongue were made of clay
Anyway, I love you

That’s all I have to tell you

I’m not a man of poetry
Music isn’t one with me
It runs from me. It runs from me

Lir:Amalthea:
And I tried to write a symphony
I lost the melody
Perhaps I only finished
And finish I suppose I never will
Anyway I love you
That’s all I have to tell you
That’s all I've got to say
That’s all I've got to say
That's all I've got to say
Once when I was searching
somewhere out of reach
far away
in a place I couldn’t find
or heart obey
Now that I’m a woman
Now I know the way
Now I know the way
That’s all I’ve got to say

That's it! The rest is all beautiful background music.
