The Last Note -------------air Deportees
1
The room it is dark on this cold winter's evening
The room it is dark and two friends are with thee
They say their farewells before your long journey
and you said your goodbyes and no more to see me
Chorus
You are happy thank God to go on this journey
Your happy thank God but your lonesome for me
You are going away as many others before you
And many more set to follow until our foes see
2
You'll go on that journey across the Blue Yonder
You'll go on the journey across the Blue Skies for me
You'll not be afraid with your friends there beside you
You'll not be afraid as there is no fear in thee
Chorus
3
Tonight in that room that is ten foot by ten foot
You'll sit at your table and write your last plea
You'll think of your mother , You'll think of your father
Your brothers and sisters and the wing blowing free
Chorus
4
There is none now so deaf as those who'll not listen
There is none so blind as who look , but dont see
You write your Last Note to those deafened and blinded
You write your Last Note that some day they'll be healed
