Someone’s Final Song Lyrics
[Verse 1]
He died when the house was empty
When the maid had gone
He put a pen to paper for one final song
He wrote—
"Oh babe, it's the only way
I know it's wrong but I can't stand
To go on living, to go on living
Living life this way"
[Verse 2]
"And I don't know what the time is
Or what the next line is
Or how you're gonna take the news
But if I had my life again, ooh ooh
I wouldn't change a thing
I'd let nobody—I'd let nobody
Stand inside my shoes"
[Chorus]
"Oh, something's gotten hold of me
This home is not the home it used to be
I've gathered dust
Like the dying flowers (Ooh)
And I've drunk myself sober, oh oh
After hours and hours"
He died when the house was empty
When the maid had gone
He put a pen to paper for one final song
He wrote—
"Oh babe, it's the only way
I know it's wrong but I can't stand
To go on living, to go on living
Living life this way"
[Verse 2]
"And I don't know what the time is
Or what the next line is
Or how you're gonna take the news
But if I had my life again, ooh ooh
I wouldn't change a thing
I'd let nobody—I'd let nobody
Stand inside my shoes"
[Chorus]
"Oh, something's gotten hold of me
This home is not the home it used to be
I've gathered dust
Like the dying flowers (Ooh)
And I've drunk myself sober, oh oh
After hours and hours"
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus]
"Oh, something's gotten hold of me
This home is not the home it used to be (It's not the same)
I've gathered dust
Like the dying flowers (Ooh)
And I've drunk myself sober (Ooh, ooh ooh ooh)
After hours and hours (Ooh, ooh ooh ooh)
After hours and hours"
[Chorus]
"Oh, something's gotten hold of me
This home is not the home it used to be (It's not the same)
I've gathered dust
Like the dying flowers (Ooh)
And I've drunk myself sober (Ooh, ooh ooh ooh)
After hours and hours (Ooh, ooh ooh ooh)
After hours and hours"
