Hope Dies Last - Magnolia Electric Co.

What are you hunting here?

Child I hunt what will not stand

I bring home the Northern Lights

The ocean and the twisting sand

I’ve seen the arrow, climb, climb, climb

I know it finds my heart every time

You’re taking it too hard

Remember the night

When the fire didn’t answer to the flame (x2)

There’s no miles in the city now

Promises, I’ve made no promises

There’s just the grey and the emptiness as it is

As it is — I make no small plans, my love

But I know hope dies last of all

Hope dies last of all (x2)

I have mapped my falling sky

Harper’s Ferry to the Gauley Bridge

Wichita to Omaha and Indianapolis

But I’ve made it too hard

By forgetting the night

That the fire didn’t answer to the flame (x2)
