Mikey Wax - Last Great Song lyrics

rate me

Well I was walking alone

Down those city roads

When a man asked me

“May I please have some gold?”

So I reached within

I gave him all that I could loan

And he said in my return

I'll play you the last great song

And so he reached for his guitar

He put the notes in proper tone

And before he began he said

There's something you should know

Now the words they aren't done

And I probably sing it wrong

But if you look beyond the flaws

You will hear the last great song

And the man began to play

And the melody would grow

To the mountains high

From those valleys below

And as it came to an end

He held the last note long

And then he said My friend

You've just heard the last great song

He said I'd love for you to stay

But I'm sure you've got to go

But whatever song you play

Make sure that all the people know

That the words they're never done

And you'll probably sing it wrong

But if they look beyond the flaws

They will hear the last great song

And his voice stayed in my head

And his melody would grow

To the mountains high

From those valleys below

And as it came to an end

He held the last note long

And then he said my friend

You've just heard the last great song

And so I walked on my way

Walked about a block or two

When someone must have paid

Cause' I swear I heard the tune

Of a sound so sweet

Of a sky so blue

And he played it complete

‘Til everybody knew

And the man sang loud

And it echoed through the dark

From 14th street

Through all of Central Park

And as it came to an end

He held the last note long

And then he said My friend

You've just heard the last great song

The last great song

The last great song

And then he said my friend

You've just heard the last great song
