The Last Musketeer Lyrics

Now that the war is over

And the battles are all lost and won

The glasses are raised and the caterers praised

And the happy couple are gone

Bound for the sun on a honeymoon cruise

And nobody knows where they are

The last musketeer has traded his sword

For a mortgage and family car

All the words like 'forever' are spoken

Though the meaning's not always quite clear

The wine and the song have together run dry

And the last of the guests disappeared

And mum and dad take a look at themselves

Now the last of the nestlings has flown

The last musketeer takes stock of his life

Amazed at the new thing he's found

And a lifetime away from just yesterday

Well on the way to elsewhere

En route for tomorrow they pause to shake

Confetti out of their hair

The treaties are signed and the campaign is won

And another skirmish begins

The bride smiles and the last musketeer

Takes a look at 'forever' and grins
