Joel Billy - Famous Last Words Lyrics
Sitting here in avalon, looking at the pouring rainSummertime has come and gone and everybodys home againClosing down for the season, I found the last of the souvenirsI can still taste the wedding cake and its sweet after all these yearsThese are the last words I have to sayThats why this took so long to writeThere will be other words some other dayBut thats the story of my lifeTheres comfort in my coffee cup and apples in the early fallTheyre pulling all the moorings up and gathering at the legion hallThey swept away all the streamers after the labor day paradeNothing left for a dream now, only one final serenadeAnd these are the last words I have to sayBefore another age goes byWith all those other songs Ill have to playBut thats the story of my lifeAnd its so clear standing here where I amAint that what justice is for?Frankly, my dear, I dont give a damn anymoreStack the chairs on the table topsHang the sheets on the chandeliersIt slows down but it never stopsAint it sweet after all these yearsAnd these are the last words I have to sayIts always hard to say goodbyeBut now its time to put this book awayAint that the story of my life
