The Last One To Go

(album: Wings On My Shoes - 2022)

Hope that we're still years away from the ending
Hope that we're less than halfway through the show
I wish that one day we could just fade off together
Cause the saddest part of any true love is someone ends up alone

I'd rather be the one that's crying
I'd rather be the one that rides
In that long black limousine with half of a love inside
I'll be the one who takes the flowers
And spreads them 'round back home
I'd rather be the one that's sleeping in this quiet old house alone
I hope that I'm the last one to go

I can't stand the thought of you wearing a black dress
Hugging your sisters and telling them you don't need them to stay
The tears tattoo your face in that picture window
While our children and their children slowly drive away

I'd rather be the one that's crying
I'd rather be the one that rides
In that long black limousine with half of a love inside
I'll be the one who takes the flowers
And spreads them 'round back home
I'd rather be the one that's sleeping in this quiet old house alone
I hope that I'm the last one to go

I'd rather be the one that's crying
I'd rather be the one that rides
In that long black limousine with half of a love inside
I'll be the one who takes the flowers
And spreads them 'round back home
I'd rather be the one that's sleeping in this quiet old house alone
I hope that I'm the last one to go
