SITTING HERE IN
AVALON
LOOKING AT THE
POURING RAIN
SUMMER TIME HAS
COME AND GONE
AND EVERYBODY'S
HOME AGAIN
CLOSING DOWN FOR
THE SEASON I FOUND
THE LAST OF
THE SOUVENIRS
I CAN STILL TASTE
THE WEDDING CAKE
AND IT'S SWEET AFTER
ALL THESE YEARS
THESE ARE THE
LAST WORDS
I HAVE TO SAY
THAT'S WHY THIS TOOK
SO LONG TO WRITE
THERE WILL BE OTHER
WORDS SOME OTHER DAY
BUT THAT'S THE
STORY OF MY LIFE
THERE'S COMFORT IN
MY COFFEE CUP
AND APPLES IN
THE EARLY FALL
THEY'RE PULLING
ALL THE MOORINGS UP
AND GATHERING
AT LEGION HALL
THEY SWEPT AWAY
ALL THE STREAMERS
AFTER THE
LABOR DAY PARADE
THERE'S NOTHING LEFT
FOR A DREAMER NOW
ONLY ONE
FINAL SERENADE
AND THESE ARE THE
LAST WORDS
I HAVE TO SAY
BEFORE ANOTHER
AGE GOES BY
WITH ALL THOSE OTHER
SONGS I'LL HAVE TO PLAY
BUT THAT'S THE
STORY OF MY LIFE
AND IT'S SO CLEAR
STANDING HERE WHERE I AM
AIN'T THAT WHAT
JUSTICE IS FOR
FRANKLY MY DEAR
I DON'T GIVE A
DAMN ANYMORE
4 BAR BREAK
YEAH
YEAH
STACK THE CHAIRS
ON THE TABLE TOPS
HANG THE SHEETS ON
THE CHANDELIERS
IT SLOWS DOWN BUT
IT NEVER STOPS
AIN'T IT SWEET AFTER
ALL THESE YEARS
AND THESE ARE THE
LAST WORDS
I HAVE TO SAY
IT'S ALWAYS HARD
TO SAY GOODBYE
BUT NOW IT'S TIME
TO PUT THIS BOOK AWAY
AIN'T THAT THE
STORY OF MY LIFE
THE STORY OF
THESE ARE THE
LAST WORDS
I HAVE TO SAY
THAT'S WHY THIS TOOK
SO LONG TO WRITE
THERE WILL BE OTHER
WORDS SOME OTHER DAY
AIN'T THAT THE
STORY OF MY LIFE
OOOH
THESE ARE THE
LAST WORDS
I HAVE TO SAY
BEFORE ANOTHER
AGE GOES BY
WITH ALL THOSE OTHER
SONGS I'LL HAVE TO PLAY
AIN'T THAT THE
STORY OF MY LIFE
AIN'T THAT THE
STORY OF MY LIFE
