At Last, Forever Lyrics - Roots To Branches - Jethro Tull

At Last, Forever 

So why are you holding my hand tonight? 

I'm not intending to go far away. 

I'm just slipping through to the back room -- 

I'll leave you messages almost every day. 

And who was I to last forever? 

I didn't promise to stay the pace. 

Not in this lifetime, babe 

but we'll cling together: 

some kind of heaven written in your face.

So why are you holding my hand tonight? 

Well, am I feeling so cold to the touch? 

Do my eyes seem to focus 

on some distant point? 

Why do I find it hard to talk too much? 

And who was I to last forever? 

I didn't promise to stay the pace. 

Not in this lifetime, babe 

but we'll cling together: 

some kind of heaven written in your face.
