Joe Purdy - Last Clock On the Wall Lyrics
Train leaves the station, there's blood on the tracksI threw my record player, and you ain't coming backAnd I saw you on the stage, singing songs we used to playHe'd grown all his hair out, but he still don't look like meAnd I know you were listening 'cause I heard it in a songSaid "I may be moving babe, but I ain't moving on"I can sing you a lullaby that I made up in the darkBut you know that I think I would rather sing yoursIt's funny they don't make 'em with their voices still shaking anymoreThe whistling of the boxcar threw me out into the windIt's cold in San Francisco and I'm thinking back to whenYou dropped me down by the water and you danced on up Golden GateI was thinking about the love we had and the love we used to makeI saw you up in Washington with your new boy at the gigSaid "I may be settling baby but I'm settling big"Said you couldn't wait on me any longer to decideThat may be true but it ain't no excuse for you to hideCause your new room with a view is just a fancy place for you to run and hideAnd the last clock on the wall is starting to fallAnd no one seems to mind at allAnd the last clock on the wall is starting to fallAnd no one seems to mind at allOh and I threw my glass down on Main Street, started a fire in the parkBut the crowd I was hoping for, they just vanished in the darkSo I walked around the corner, yeah with the crazies on the streetAnd I saw a girl that looked just like you, she had no shoes upon her feetOh and she said that she heard from angels and they told her what to doI said "They may be talking babe, but they ain't talking to you"Yes and they told her she could fly if she jumped off a building that was highAnd you know that may be the last thing that she saidYeah but I wish that you wouldn't listen to every voice that comes and creeps inside your headAnd the last clock on the wall is starting to fallAnd no one seems to mind at allAnd the last clock on the wall is starting to fallAnd no one seems to mind at all
