[Verse 1]

Black suits, eyes closed

Nothing left to hear

One mistake, blame the youth

Crossed the line of fear

Burn the bridges that we crossed in time

Seemed the only way

"Not for nothing" was his only crime

A final price to pay


[Verse 2]

Black days, loss for words

When there's so much left to say

Time's mine, have so much time

Since I went away

Back across the bridges burned

Now we walk alone

The lights are on, the door's unlocked

But no one is home


[Chorus]

I saw the last of sunshine

I'm going back to Mother Earth

A cry of independence

Ends in death

Yeah, the last of sunshine

Oh, ya know, for what it's worth

Nice day for a funeral


[Verse 3]

One last time to turn your back

Don't kiss me when I go

Don't wonder why it came to this

You didn't want to know

A bastard child and his misspent youth

Yeah, he's yours and mine

We're digging graves, not the buried truth

If I only had the time


[Chorus]

I saw the last of sunshine

I'm going back to Mother Earth

A cry of independence

Ends in death

Yeah, the last of sunshine

Oh, ya know, for what it's worth

Nice day for a funeral


[Guitar Solos]


[Chorus]

I saw the last of sunshine

I'm going back to Mother Earth

A cry of independence

Ends in death

Yeah, the last of sunshine

(I remember here)

Oh, ya know, for what it's worth

Nice day for a funeral

(Never thought I'd come to this)

Yeah, the last of sunshine

(I remember here)

I'm going back to Mother Earth

A cry of independence

Ends in death

Yeah, the last of my time

(I remember here)

Oh, ya know, for what it's worth

Nice day for a funeral

(Never thought I'd come to this)


[Outro]

It's the last of sunshine

(I remember here)

I'm going back to Mother Earth

A cry of independence

Ends in death

Yeah, the last of sunshine

(I remember here)

Oh, ya know, for what it's worth

Nice day for a funeral

(Never thought I'd come to this)

Saw the last of sunshine

(I remember here)

I'm going back to Mother Earth

A cry of independence

Ends in death....
