Welcome to my secret page. For the time being I have set this up for a special few to listen to my latest creation. This is a strange song, I know. Many thanks to Vance Grazio for his contributions on guitar, backing vocals, sound engineering, and mastering.

Last Night of the War
Copyright 2022 Mark D Hastings
 

Verse 1:
On the last night of the war       
nothing fills the sky but silence
While  we lie here by the shore
breathing so soft and warm and quiet

Verse 2:
On the last night of the war
moonbeams shine across still water
the big ships will fight no more
moored in the bay, all done with slaughter

Chorus:
Leave a place in your thoughts
and please remember me.      
Leave a place in your heart
to keep me close to you.
'cause the winds of change will blow us all to who knows where or when                                
Ahhhhh  Ahhhhhh
I can only hope someday to find you again.                         

Verse 3:
On the last night of the war
all the guns grow cold at long last
Oh, can you recall "before"?
a future grim, will now, be recast
(to chorus)


Bridge:
And between all the death and chaos
finding your love seems so unreal
all of the peace I found here in your arms
gave me some time to heal.


Chorus:
Hold a place in your thoughts  
and please remember me.      
Leave a place in your heart    
to keep me close to you.      
'cause the winds of change will blow us all to who knows where or when                                
Ahhhhh  Ahhhhhh
I can only hope someday to find you again.
