The Last Unicorn

This page dedicated to Peter S. Beagle - author of the original book. And for
all people, who keep in heart goodness and light, who keep this world alive.

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 When the first breath of winter through the flowers is icing And you look to the north and a 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 till I find my abode Here I am on Man's road, walking Man's road Moon rising, disguising lonely streets in gay displays The stars fade, the night shade falls and 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, walking Man's road, walking Man's road...

In The Sea

In the sea the fish have learned to fly On a moonlit night on wings of silver As the enchanted stars sail serenely by Do they know where do unicorns go Where winged horses fly Narwhales 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 Gaily colored they keep their secrets In a parade of clouds playing hide and seek Do they know where do unicorns go Where winged horses fly Narwhales 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 is changed Everything is changed Everything has changed
