Someone's Final Song

[Verse 1]

He died when the house was empty

When the maid had gone

He put a pen to paper for one final song

He wrote—

"Oh babe, it's the only way

I know it's wrong but I can't stand

To go on living, to go on living

Living life this way"

[Verse 2]

"And I don't know what the time is

Or what the next line is

Or how you're gonna take the news

But if I had my life again, ooh ooh

I wouldn't change a thing

I'd let nobody—I'd let nobody

Stand inside my shoes"

[Chorus]

"Oh, something's gotten hold of me

This home is not the home it used to be

I've gathered dust

Like the dying flowers (Ooh)

And I've drunk myself sober, oh oh

After hours and hours"

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]

"Oh, something's gotten hold of me

This home is not the home it used to be (It's not the same)

I've gathered dust

Like the dying flowers (Ooh)

And I've drunk myself sober (Ooh, ooh ooh ooh)

After hours and hours (Ooh, ooh ooh ooh)

After hours and hours"
