Kate Campbell - The Last Song lyrics

rate me

After the supper was over and the table had been

cleared away

When the last bottle was empty, there was nothing much

left to say

Jesus started humming an old tune, everybody fell right

in

They sang the last song, the last song

Matthew started singing the low part, John grabbed the

high harmony

Their voices filled up the night air all the way to

Gethsemane

Judas walked some distance behind them like he had

forgotten the words

They sang the last song, the last song

Just before they got to the garden

Just before they all fell asleep

Just before Barabbas was pardoned

And Jesus was nailed to a tree

I reckon it was some kind of soul song, maybe kind of

sad and slow

All about how we get weary, all about holding on

Only Jesus knew what was coming, still he never said a

thing

He sang the last song, the last song

He could have made a toast to the good times and only

the best for his friends

He could have stayed up late reminiscing about the long

strange trip it had been

But he went just like a lamb to the slaughter knowing

it was part of the plan

And sang the last song, the last song
