Lyrics My Last Song - Country Joe McDonald

My Last Song

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
