Lyrics

VERSE 1
We traveled from afar
Over land, over sea
To raise a glass, say our last goodbye
We were burying a friend
A scholar, a poet
A maker of the dreams gone by
As the day went on
And the songs were sung
And the mood went high to low
We were lost in time with an empty void
But a voice that carries on


VERSE 2
We gathered in our droves
For one last hurrah
Was the great wake of our time
We raised up a glass
As we sent him off
To the great gig in the sky
As the rain came down
And the night drew dark
I could feel a tear in my eye
The likes of him won't be seen again
a legend of our time

CHORUS
In glory we will go
For one last drink
For the king's last show

VERSE 3
The stories that were told
From the days of the old
From the gutters
To the mountains high
His heart now can rest
We have all been blessed
He has shared with us his crock of gold
As the days go on
We'll still hear those songs
They'll be there
Till we meet our end
Let's raise one more glass
To his ghost and past
And the words that he leaves us now

CHORUS
In glory we will go
For one last drink
For the king's last show

MIDDLE 8
We'll sing from night until morning
His songs from night until morning

CHORUS
In glory we will go
For one last drink
For the king's last show
