My Last Song - Country Joe McDonald

Well now the party’s over

Food and dishes all put away

Family and guests are all off in their beds

Looks like the end of the day

Just you and I together

And I don’t know what to say

It feels so strange, the same old game

Without a reason to play

Without a reason to play

I never shared the vision

In fact I’ve never known

From dawn to dusk relations rust

You stood it all alone

And there in all confusion

So big, so fearless, so bold

I tried so hard I almost died

But now I guess you know

But now I guess you know

They’re boarding up the windows

The closets seem so small

The picture frames of mem’ry lane

Come cascading off the wall

And now the questions and the answers

Ring so hollow in my mind

The reasons change, the agenda fades

Up against the wailing wall

Up against the wailing wall

Melting all my anger

As I turn life a page

To make some sense, to feel repent

What to save and cast away

Now in the final chapter

Of the greatest story told

I see so clear through clouded tears

I don’t want to see you go

I don’t want to see you go

Well now the party’s over

Food and dishes all put away

Family and guests are all off in their beds

Looks like the end of the day

Just you and I together

And I don’t know what to say

It feels so strange, the same old game

Without a reason to play

Without a reason to play
