Famous Last Words

Sitting here in Avalon

looking at the pouring rain

summer time has come and gone

and everyone is home again

closing down for the season, I found the last of the souvenirs

I can still taste the wedding cake

and its sweet after all these years



These are the last words I have to say

thats why it took so long to write

there will be other words some other day

but thats the story of my life



Comfort in my coffee cup

apples in the early fall

their pulling all the mourings up

and gathering at the leaging hall

swept away all the streamers after the labor day parade

theres nothign left for a dreamer now

only one final seranade



and these are the last words I have to say

before another age goes by

with all those other songs I have to play

but thats the story of my life



and its so clear standing here where i am

aint that what justice is for

frankly my dear I don't give a damn

anymore



heyyyyyyy



Stacked all the chairs on the table tops

hanged the sheets on the chanadleers

the stores down, but it never stops

aint it sweet after all these years

and these are the last words I have to say

iTs always hard to say goodbye



and now it time to put this book away

then thats the story of my life

these are the last words I have to say

thats why it took so long to write

there will be other words some other day

aint that the story of my life



ohhh

these are the last words I have to say

before another age goes by

with all those other songs i have to play

yea thats the story of my life...
