The Music
Watching The Last Unicorn we all became fasinated with the
music and the mystery that it inspired. Much of my life I have sought
the music from the movie and through various sources at different times
I have aquired a lot of the music of The Last Unicorn. So
here's some info on the music
-

Lyrics by: Jimmy Webb

Well now with that out of the way let's explore the songs that
were The Last Unicorn. I have presented both the lyrics and
the music to all the songs that I could so here we go.
The
Last Unicorn
When the last eagle flies
Over the last crumbling mountain
And the last lion roars
At the last dusty fountain
In the shadow of the forest
Though she may be old and worn
They will stare unbelieving
At the Last Unicorn
When the first breath of winter
Throught the flowers is icing
And you look to the north
And a pale moon is rising
And it seems like all is dying
And would leave the world to mourn
In the distance hear her laughter
It's the Last Unicorn
I'm alive... I'm alive
When the last moon is cast
Over the last star of morning
And the future is past
Without even a last desparate warning
Then look into the sky where through
The cloudes a path is formed
Look and see her how she sparkles
It's the Last Unicorn
I'm alive... I'm alive.
Man's
Road
Horizon rising up to meet the purple dawn.
Dust demon, screaming, bring an eagle to lead me on.
For in my heart I carry such a heavy load.
Here I am, on Man's Road.
Walking man's road.
I'm hungry, weary, but I cannot lay me down.
The rain comes, dreary, but there's no shelter I have found.
It will be a long time till I find my abode.
Here I am, on Man's road.
Walking man's road.
Moon rising, disguising lonely streets in gay displays
The stars fade, the nightshade, closing makes the world afraid.
It waits in silence for the sky to explode.
Here I am on Man's road.
Walking man's road.
In
The Sea
In the sea,
The fish have learned to fly
On a moonlit night
On wings of silver
As the enchanted stars
Sail serenely by.
Chorus:
Do they know
Where do unicorns go?
Where winged horses fly?
Narwhals lost at sea
And never seen again.
Go.
Go and ask the magpie
"Where do unicorns go?"
In the trees
The birds have learned to speak
Many colored
They keep their secrets
In a parade of clouds
Playing hide and seek.
Chorus:
Do they know
Where do unicorns go?
Where winged horses fly?
Narwhals lost at sea
And never seen again.
Does myth
And mystery lie
Where the unicorns go?
Now
That I'm A Woman
Once, I can't remember
I was, long ago, someone strange.
I was innocent and wise,
And full of pain.
Now that I'm a woman
Everything is strange.
Once, when I was searching
Somewhere out of reach,
Far away,
In a place I could not find
Nor heart obey.
Now that I'm a woman
Everything is changed.
Everything is changed.
Everything has changed.
That's
All I've Got To Say
Lir:
I've had time to write a book
About the way you act and look,
But I haven't got a paragraph.
Words are always getting in my way.
Anyway, I love you.
That's all I have to tell you.
That's all I've got to say.
And now, I'd like to make a speech
About the love that touches each,
But stumbling, I would make you laugh.
I feel as though my tongue were made of clay.
Anyway, I love you.
That's all I have to tell you.
I'm not a man of poetry.
Music isn't one with me.
It runs from me.
It runs from me.
(duet)
Lir: And I tried to write
a symphony
Amalthea: Once
when I was searching
Lir: But I lost the melody
Amalthea: Somewhere
out of reach
Lir: Alas I only finished
half
Amalthea: Far
away
Lir: And finish I suppose
I never may
Amalthea: In
a place I could not find
Lir: Anyway, I love you
Amalthea: Nor
heart obey
Lir: That's all I have to
tell you
Amalthea: Now
that I'm a woman
Lir: That's all I've got
to say
Amalthea: Now
I know they way
Lir: That's all I've got
to say
Amalthea: Now
I know they way
together: That's all I've got to say
The
Last Unicorn (Reprise)
In the distance hear her laughter
It's the Last Unicorn
I'm alive... I'm alive
When the last moon is cast
Over the last star of morning
And the future is past
Without even a last desparate warning
Then look into the sky where through
The cloudes a path is formed
Look and see her how she sparkles
It's the Last Unicorn
I'm alive... I'm alive.
