Last night as I lay sleeping fast Is the whale then no more I dreamed that this had come to pass Is the big feller gone All the verses share the same second & fourth line I've heard it only once, and I think its as good as the Andy Barnes 'Last Leviathan' |

Last night as I lay sleeping fast; IS THE WHALE THEN NO MORE? I dreamed that this had come to pass: IS THE BIG FELLA GONE? Sixty tons of streamlined grace; IS THE WHALE THEN NO MORE? Has he disappeared from the earth's face? IS THE BIG FELLA' GONE? In waters that he made a home; IS THE WHALE THEN NO MORE? Is the Finback never more to roam? IS THE BIG FELLA' GONE? Where the Sperm so deep did sound; IS THE WHALE THEN NO MORE? Has he left the hunting ground? IS THE BIG FELLA' GONE? Beneath the waves it echoed long; IS THE WHALE THEN NO MORE? Shall we ne'er more hear the Humpback's song? IS THE BIG FELLA' GONE? By Arctic shores so cold and still; IS THE WHALE THEN NO MORE? The mighty Blue seeks the tiny krill. IS THE BIG FELLA' GONE? Last night as I lay sleeping' fast; IS THE WHALE THEN NO MORE? I dreamed that this had come to pass: IS THE BIG FELLA' GONE? ^^ |
