Last Sunset before Dawn

Chorus
(G) The Last (Em) Sunset before Dawn
A precious (Bm) moment in our lives
Chalice (C) staring to the (D) fading yellow (G) light (D)
It was a (Em) picture perfect sunset
In the (Bm) Sillustani Hills
Joy was (C) seeing that the (D) world would be all (G) right

I almost (G) burst a lung to get there
Racing (D) up at 12,000 feet
(C) What on earth were you (D) calling me (G) for? (D)
You had this (G) sense of deepest knowing
That we (D) needed to be there
To gaze at the (C) Sunset before (D) Tomorrow, (G) together (D)

As the (G) west wind whipped into our face
On a (D) pink old sacred rock
We saw a (C) hawk (D) begin rising (G) up (D)
The winged (G) path of flight was telling
(D) Gazed up with such awe
Prophetic (C) moment, written in a (D) 30 year old (G) song (D)

As the (G) yellow ball went under
Something (D) brighter was beginning to rise
You said that there (C) first would (D) be some darker (G)
nights (D)
With (G) arms upon our shoulders
We (D) committed to a path
For the (C) Dawn of the Tomorrow, the (D) coming of new (G)
Light (D)
