The Last Time
Ballard Russ Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
They shine with all the rain that's falling down
It's late, put on your coat, the freeway is nearby
I guess I'd better run you back to town
They still go round my head, all those things you just said
But I find that I still can't believe
[CHORUS:]
It is the last time we will love
Girl, it is the last time, it is the last time we will love
Oh girl I'll tell the porter to pick up your case
This old motel don't have much anyhow
There's no more to be said so I'll go get the car
Could be there will be no hearts breaking now
Yes I heard what you said, if you must leave, go right ahead
But it still seems so crazy to me
[CHORUS:]
(Solo)
Yes I heard what you said, if you must leave, go right ahead
But it still seems so crazy to me
Oh girl it is the last time, you will no longer be mine
It is the last time we will love
(repeats 2x)
I heard what you said, go right ahead
Baby it's the last time, no longer will you be mine
Babe it's the last time we'll love
Oh girl it is the last time, you will no longer be mine
It is the last time we will love, baby, baby, yeah
It is the last time, no longer will you be mine
It is the last time we'll love... (to fade)

"The Last Time" by Ballard Russ is a melancholic song about the ending of a relationship. The lyrics describe the scene of a rainy night, where the singer is seeing through a blue window from which he can see the streets shining with rain. His lover is getting ready to leave, and he has to take her back to town. Throughout the song, he reflects on the fact that this will be the last time they will love and be together. Although she has already told him that she must leave, he still finds it hard to believe and calls it crazy. The song ends with a repeating chorus where he accepts that it is the last time they will love, and she will no longer be his.
