When The Last Song Dies - JERRY'S SOUND ROOM
I still keep your letters
in the glove box of a truck
that don't run anymore
just sits out back rusting slow
Every April rain
finds the same damn cracks
in the windshield
like tears that know
exactly where to go
I talk to you out loud
when the dogs start a howling
at a moon too thin
to give a damn about a lonely man
When the last song dies
in this empty house
and the needle lifts
like a breath that's done
I still hear your laugh
in the silence that falls
soft as the dust on the records we spun
You're the echo I can't turn down
the shadow that sleeps in my wedding gown dreams
When the last song dies baby
I'll still be singing your name
Our daughter called tonight
voice shaking like leaves
in November said daddy
are you okay alone
I lied through my teeth
said I'm fine with the quiet
truth is quiet's the only thing
that still feels like home
I dance with your ghost in the kitchen
at 3:00 a.m.
barefoot on cold tile
swaying to nothing at all
When the last song dies
and the bottle's gone dry
and the porch light burns out
one fine old time
I'll lay down this body
before God how to hold you
and meet you where two boxes
never run out of dimes
You're the ache in every chord I still know
the low note the blues won't let go
When the last song dies darling
I'll finally be home
Don't cry for me
when they put me in the ground
just play that old Otis Redding we wore out in 78
tell them I went out smiling
cigarette burning
with your name on my lips
and no need to be sad
So let the last song die
let the credits roll slow
across this tired sky
I've loved you through every crack in my soul
through every wrong turn
and every goodbye
When the last song dies tonight
I won't be afraid
I'll just close my eyes
and walk straight into the music you made
