Side two, track five

lyrics

The Last Song (Perrin/Halliwell)
When the initial shock wore off
And most things were back in place again
It became quite plain
That you won't be coming back this way
And it doesn't matter what I say
I'll miss you every day

This is the last song I'll ever sing
This is the last song I'll ever sing
This is the last song I'll ever sing
To you

I quite like living on my own
I am selfish in so many ways
You knew that anyway
There's space but no room for light and shade
Too much silence is the price I've paid
Still the bed gets made

This is the last song I'll ever sing
This is the last song I'll ever sing
To you

And although tied my tongue still has the taste
I wear the miles like lines upon my face – too many and too late...

This is the last song I'll ever sing
This is the last song I'll ever sing
To you
