if the world should end in fire
the oceans boiling into flame
i will watch the last sunrise
and think of all those sunny days
when the mystery of the sky
and the shifting clouds
was enough to make me sure
that beyond the gauzy haze
of life's listless dream
there's a place where time is dead
and all things stand still
and always will

if the world should end in ice
in days of endless night
i'll let the snowstorm cover me
in a blanket of white
and remember red, red robins
hopping across the yard
hunting singing crickets
as the first evening stars
opened up their eyes
and dropped their golden tears
on every window sill
and always will

and always will
