The Last in Love
J.D. Souther Lyrics

Blues outside my door
I am feeling down and sad, maybe because of an external circumstance.

I don't even know if it's raining
I am so consumed by my emotions that I am not aware of what is happening outside.

But I've been here before
I have experienced this feeling of sadness and hopelessness in the past.

And I don't wanna be here again
I don't want to go through this emotional pain again.

Ev'ry now and then
Occasionally,

voices on the wind
Sounds or words on the air,

call me back to the first time
Remind me of a previous moment or experience,

far away and clear
Vivid and distinct despite being distant,

you can hear the tear drops
Listen to the sound of someone crying,

falling for the last in love.
Weeping for the final person to be enamoured.

If I let you down
If I disappointed you or failed to meet your expectations,

All I can say is "I'm sorry"
My only apology is all I can offer.

Now it's all over town
Everyone has heard about my mistake or misdeed and it is public knowledge.

So I don't want to hear it from you
I don't want to be reminded of my failure.

Please don't look away it's hard enough to say
Don't avert your gaze as this is already challenging to articulate,

This could go on forever
These negative feelings might not dissipate,

When the night is clear
During a silent and perceptible evening,

I can hear the teardrops
I can audibly discern the sound of crying,

Falling for the last in love.
Sobbing for the ultimate person to be infatuated with.

Every now and then
Every so often,

I hear voices on the wind
I perceive sounds or words on the air,

I may love you always and always
I might have enduring feelings of ardour for you,

Far away and clear
Conspicuous and distinct even from afar,

You can hear the teardrops
You can listen to the sound of someone crying,

Falling for the last in love
Shedding tears for the final person to be head over heels.

Calling for the last in love
Inviting or beckoning to the ultimate person to be infatuated with.
