Lyrics
THE LAST TIME
By Evan Cowden
copyright 2006
verse
Empty chair at the table
A dining room built for two
Cool autumn wind swept in
And stole a friend to soon
No love unrequited
Pure love is never wrong
A mulitude of angels
Joined in his last song
chorus
And the Last Time
I saw him
Love filled his eyes
But the Last Time
I saw him
We didn't say goodbye
verse
You only see what you want to
You live life with blinders on
Why would it mean a thing to you
That he's dead
And that my world is gone?
You teach your children to hate us
Boy, do what the bibles say
In the name of Christ you pursicute
Try to strip all dignity away
chorus
And the Last Time
I saw him
Love filled his eyes
But the Last Time
I saw him
We didn't say goodbye
