The Last One
Maybe it’s the last one through
Done done done with what I do Come look up my empty sleeve Maybe it’s the great reprieve I grimace instead of cry I hover instead of write Take walks on the west side Long talks on the phone at night Maybe this is the last one, honey Maybe this is the last one Maybe this is the last one, honey Maybe this is the last one A long walk from my bed to the floor A long drop from my train to the door So many songs, since my heart cracked Fell in deep, I won’t get th em back I’ll be gone to ashes In Brooklyn, Sierra Nevada A dream as common as winter snow What if I just let it go Maybe this is the last one, honey Maybe this is the last one Maybe this is the last one, honey Maybe this is the last one So I count the things that work Make lists in a little book Force myself to count to ten Force myself to start again Done done done with this and that Music, tales, tit for tat Done with giving up a fight For what might come or what might fly Maybe this is the last one, honey Maybe this is the last one Maybe this is the last one, honey Maybe this is the last one |
